Glass designer Helena Tynell is best known for her Sun Bottles (also called ‘Flower bottles’) that were produced 1964-1974 at Riihimäen lasi, in Finland.
The bottles were produced in four sizes: (4/4) is the largest, ca 32cm high; (3/4) ca 23cm; (2/4) ca 17cm and (1/4) is the smallest and most common size and is ca 12,5cm high and fits slightly over 2dl of water.
