Product description
Product code: 68361904
An Ultima Thule pitcher from glassmakers Iittala. The jug is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning and has a lip for precision pouring.
Ultima Thule's iconic design is inspired by Nordic nature with a rounded base supported by three ice peaks that float above the surface. Internationally renowned designer Tapio Wirkkala, a leading figure of modern Finnish industrial art, took his cues from the raw beauty of his native Finland, recreating an ice-covered Finnish island where the sun never sets. Wirkkala spent nearly a thousand hours with the glassblowers at the Iittala Glass Factory, pushing the limits of glassblowing for Ultima Thule.
A dynamic mix of art and function, the classic Finnish glassware cemented its iconic status when Finnair began using it to serve drinks in first class. The Ultima Thule jug was designed to commemorate Wirkkala's 100th birthday.
Choose the perfect glassware
Glass comes in a range of weights, cuts and clarity and we have a wide selection for you to choose from, designed to suit every budget and occasion.
| Soda lime | Versatile and available in many colours and styles, soda lime glass is perfect for everyday use. Its ingredients are made up primarily of sand, soda ash and lime which are scientifically measured to ensure that the finished piece is exactly as desired. Soda lime is used in machine made and handmade items. |
| Crystal Glass | Finer in quality with greater clarity than soda glass, crystal is ideal for both every day and special occasions. Crystal Glass is superior to Soda Lime Glass in quality and allows for a finer cut rim instead of rounded or rolled edges. |
| Lead crystal | With a beautiful clarity, weight and resonance, lead crystal is a quality choice. To be called 'Lead', the glass has at least 24% Lead Oxide in its composition. Lead Crystal was traditionally used for cutting as it was often produced with a thicker wall. This glassware is to be handwashed, only. |
| Sparkx® | Neither Soda Lime Glass or Crystal Glass, but is Ultra Clear Glass is pure, transparent and heavy metal free. Plus it is resistant to attrition caused by dishwashers. |
| SON.hyx® | This is high-tech crystal glass, meaning it has all the same ingredients at Crystal Glass but also some extra properties that makes it even stronger with a better clarity. SON.hyx is more resistant to attrition from dishwashers than ordinary Crystal Glass and even sparkx®. |
| LUXION® | 100% Lead free Crystal glass which replaces its former 24% Lead Crystal composition. It has ultra-clear transparency and exceptional resistance to dishwasher detergents whilst retaining its strength and durability. This glassware type is also 100% recyclable. |
| Recycled | Glassware which has been recycled is handmade and reuses otherwise wasted glass. |
| Tempered | Tempered glass is heat resistant to withstand high temperatures and the tempering process makes it durable and stronger than Soda Lime glass. |
| Handmade | This type of glassware is either handblown or mouthblown. Handmade glass can be produced in any of the glass materials listed above, depending on the quality required and capabilities of the manufacturer. Both types of glassware are suitable for use in the dishwasher and any occasion. |
| Decorative | There are many ways to decorate glass including; cutting, spraying, diamond etching, pantograph etching, silk screen printing, sand blasting, hand painting and even adding Swarovski Crystals. Such techniques can be applied to any glass material. |

Brand information
Iittala started as a glass factory in the Finnish town of the same name in 1881. But it was in the 1930s under the design genius of Alvar Aalto and others that the company's modernist, functional aesthetic took root. Aalto's vase designs are still made by the company today and are sold by John Lewis.
The company aims to provide designs that endure, to pare back the complexity and let the glass and other materials speak for themselves. They are 'Against Throwawayism' and make beautiful pieces built to last and to enjoy in your home for many years to come.
