iittala Ultima Thule Footed On The Rocks - Set of 2 moomin-books and a comic strip fromIn modern literature, Ultima Thule is used to reference the furthest possible place in the world. Tapio Wirkkala's 1968 Ultima Thule glassware similarly references the icy cold reaches of Scandinavia and the distinct expressive power of Finnish glass. The footed "on the rocks" glasses have textured sides, achieved by a time laboring technique that is created by the molten glass burning the surface of the wooden moulds.
