The Humppilan Lasin Ulpukka serving dish is a striking example of Finnish glass design, created by Tauno Wirkkala in 1972 as part of the Kalevala series. Inspired by natural, organic forms, the piece features flowing contours and a refined interplay between warm brown tones and clear glass, giving it a distinctive and elegant presence.
Its design captures light beautifully, with the transition between earthy hues and transparent glass enhancing its sculptural character. Ulpukka is highly versatile: it can be used as a serving dish for fruit, snacks, or other treats, but it also stands on its own as a decorative object, where its form and color become the main focus.
As part of the Kalevala series, Ulpukka belongs to a broader collection of Wirkkala’s glass designs, alongside pieces such as the Revontulet bowl, Prisma vase, Tokka bowl, Aurinko serving dish, and Meriurut vase. The series was produced in several glass colors, including brown, green, blue, and clear, reflecting a unified exploration of Finnish nature-inspired design and material expression.
Ulpukka remains a timeless example of 1970s Finnish glass artistry, combining functionality with sculptural beauty in a way that makes it equally suited for use and display.
