Humppila (Finland) Large Amber & Clear Textured Glass Plate by Pertti Santalahti

This is a beautiful large glass plate dating from the 1970's or thereabouts and designed by Pertti Santalahti for Humppila (Finland).  Smooth like melted ice to the top surface, the underside fantastically rippled and textured with clear glass around the rim and a golden amber to the centre.  It's a gorgeous, thick and heavy piece of art glass that looks amazing on display yet is practical enough to be used.  This particular plate is unsigned however I did, until recently, own its smaller brother which was signed in full.  Please see all photographs for alternative views and close-ups (final picture shows the underside).
