Description: VTG RIIHIMAEN LASI FINLAND BLACK ART GLASS CUP & SHERBET FOOTED BOWL Vintage Set of cup & sherbet is from the Sesi series and was designed by Erkkitapio Siiroinen for Finnish glassworks Riihimäen Lasi. Siiroinen was inspired to create the Sesi series by his friend, which he subsequently named the series in honour of. Siiroinen spent two years experimenting to create the black glass and the Sesi series, which would eventually be launched by Riihimäen Lasi in 1976. Because the concept of Sesi was so new and innovative at the time (it was very rare to design such a large series in black glass), the launch generated a great deal of interest and was widely noted in the press, the series quickly became popular. The glass itself gives the appearance of black but is actually an exceptionally deep shade of Cobalt blue, the blue hue is revealed when under bright light. The rounded forms of the glass show off its Modernist design influences and give a beautiful expression of the raw material. Cup & sherbet footed bowl. Chip in sherbet bowl and the cup have a scratch with discoloration inside in bottom.
