This is a rare set of six "Frogleg" (Sammakonjalka) wine glasses, designed by Göran Hongell for Karhula-Iittala in the 1950s. They are a classic of Finnish Modernism, defined by their incredibly slender emerald green stems with a distinctive organic bulbous knop in the center.
The clear, rounded bowls and the sculptural green stems create a silhouette that is much more sophisticated and rare than standard vintage stemware. These are collector-level pieces that bring a serious "curated" energy to a bar cart or table.

• Quantity: Set of 6.
