Iittala - Ultima Thule Tealight holder

Glass tealight holder with ice effect

The Ultima Thule tea light holders from Iittala are handcrafted masterpieces, the result of long and hard work by designer Tapio Wirkkala. The unique, textured effect of the glass imitates the melting ice of Lapland's glaciers. Hence the name Ultima Thule because that is the name of the northernmost point of land in the world.

Available with clear or frosted glass, the tea light holders are perfect for creating a homey, Scandinavian-inspired atmosphere in the home. For example, they can be placed on a tray on the dining table or on a side table next to the couch.

Breakthrough thanks to Ultima Thule

Today the Ultima Thule glass objects are considered classics. The series was instrumental in Iittala s international breakthrough and its finely crafted products demonstrate the distinctive strength of Finnish glasswork.
