Iittala's Kastehelmi tumblers are part of the popular glass collection designed by Oiva Toikka. In 1964 Toikka’s aim was to design a pattern that would conceal the joint marks in pressed glass. The result was Kastehelmi, Finnish for dewdrop, that features delicate glass droplets arranged in a series of rings. Kastehelmi became one of Toikka’s most beloved series of glassware and it was manufactured until 1988. The most popular items were brought back to Iittala’s production in 2010. Kastehelmi plays with light in the most beautiful way and suits any table setting. The 3 dl tumblers come in a set of two.
