Wirkkala's work ranges from designs of plastic ketchup bottles and metalware to glass, ceramics and plywood in a range of styles. His success as a glass designer began in 1946 when he designed the Kantarelli vase for Iittala, and the mass-produced Tapio collection was launched in 1954. His range was immense, including glassware, stoneware, jewellery, and furniture for mass production, as well as individual sculptures in several media. He designed commemorative postage stamps for the 1952 Helsinki Olympics, and also designed the Finnish markka banknotes introduced in 1955. In the early 1950s, Wirkkala worked as the artistic director at the Helsinki Central School of Industrial Design. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rosenthal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67727717499108,"sku":"RA-0014492_C","price":125.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0070\/9528\/7908\/files\/pollo_tappio_1a_3fd3fb81-c71c-411b-bb73-e2fb45ddb34c.jpg?v=1792640799","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutantiques.com.au\/products\/rosenthal-studio-line-porcelain-vase-by-tapio-wirkkala-model-pollo","provider":"Roundabout Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
