Designed in 1950, Nanny Still's 'SV' series of table glassware is one of her earliest works for Riihimäen Lasi Oy. 

Nanny Still's concept for 'SV' was to create a visual unity for the dining table, designing the carafes, tumblers, plates & bowls in a single uniform colour. Still chose a deep turquoise glass for the 'SV' series, therefore the existence of this decanter in pink is somewhat a miracle.

Nanny Still's early works are predominantly influenced by Organic Modernism, and most forms in 'SV' are soft & gently curved. This decanter's subtle form is both elegant & practical. The defining feature is the unusual stopper, which consists of a cone with a folded top. Still's inspiration for this stopper is likely from the natural world, such as a flower bud, as other elements from the 'SV' series feature the motif of curling petals or leaves. The stopper's appearance however as a 'hat' has given this decanter design the nickname "Nukkumatti", a character from Finnish folklore. 

We are unsure whether this decanter is a prototype, or a special request from a particular retailer, but the unusual rose colourway was certainly not produced in quantity.
