Professor Oiva Toikka's Kastehelmi series, Finnish for "dewdrop," evolved from a technical challenge when Toikka started using glass droplets to cover joint marks left on the surface of pressed glass pieces. The result was a popular range of glassware decorated with beads of glass that glisten like dewdrops in the morning sun.

Each piece plays with light in a way that showcases the reflective beauty of the glass. Iittala's beloved Kastehelmi collection offers a wide range of versatile, tactile pieces that are both functional and decorative. The soft glow of the Kastehelmi tealight candleholder creates warm ambience in any interior. Striking alone or grouped in a collection. Works great combined with other Kastehelmi pieces.
