Re: Alvar Aalto Savoy
Of course, really nice find! How does one date these things? Is it not true that they still make these?
Re: Alvar Aalto Savoy
Yes, they are still in production from iittala. I believe the cobalt blue was retired and resurrected in 2010 but is retired again. It's a beautiful design regardless (I have two in lighter blue).
Re: Alvar Aalto Savoy
iittalia still does. They're around 120.00 at www.aalto.com, but I don't believe they are currently available in this amesyth color. I think this may be an 80's production based on the sticker.
Re: Alvar Aalto Savoy
Love the intense, saturated color.
