Brand New Vintage 1970's Drinking Glasses By Riihimäen Lasi - Set Of 6 (new) [mUnYi9T3]

A set of six amber-hued glasses from Erkkitapio Siiroinen’s 'Old King Cole' series for Riihimäen Lasi, produced in the early 1970's. These glasses feature a bold, slightly playful silhouette with a rounded bowl perched on a thick, flared base.

Siiroinen, best known for his edgy black glass designs, created the 'Old King Cole' series as a nod to classic forms with a modernist twist. These are glasses that feel familiar but carry a certain weight—a perfect example of Finnish functionalism with a little flair.

We’re very into these for serving anything from wine to desserts. They feel just formal enough for a dinner party, but relaxed enough for everyday use. And they stack nicely — a bonus for small kitchens or big collectors.

NOTE ON THE DESIGNER - Erkkitapio Siiroinen (1938–2016) was one of Finland’s most distinctive glass designers, known for blending modernist forms with a rebellious spirit. While he gained recognition for his striking black glassware, his 'Old King Cole' series shows another side—taking traditional shapes and giving them a bold, contemporary edge. Produced by Riihimäen Lasi, one of Finland’s iconic glass manufacturers, these pieces carry the enduring appeal of Finnish design: simple, functional, and quietly expressive.
