Iittala’s Kastehelmi plate is part of the glassware collection designed by Oiva Toikka in 1964. Decorated with strings of glass bubbles, the plate charms with its refreshing stylish gray shade. The Kastehelmi plate will delight in any table setting. The beautiful glass droplets of the Kastehelmi series have both an esthetic and a technical function: Oiva Toikka developed a pattern that would conceal the joint marks in pressed glass and the result was Kastehelmi, Finnish for dewdrop. Kastehelmi was manufactured until 1988 and it was one of Oiva Toikka's most beloved glass series. Iittala brought the most popular items of the series back into production in 2010.
