Description

On Midsummer Eve in June, Finnish folklore tells that if a girl gathers seven wildflowers and sleeps with them under her pillow, she will dream of her future love. The Midsummer Dream Vase reflects this tradition, offering space for seven flowers above the serene face of a Finnish maiden. This vase is part of a series of seven handmade ceramic objects created by COMPANY for Artek’s FIN/JPN Friendship Collection.
