Origin & Maker

Riihimäki glass (Finnish: Riihimäen lasi) was a prominent glass company in Riihimäki, Finland, operating from 1910 to 1990. Founded by Mikko Adolf Kolehmainen, a former glassblower at Karhula, the company initially produced household glassware and containers.

After acquiring Kaukalahti Glassworks in 1927, Riihimäki became Finland's largest glass manufacturer. The company was officially renamed Riihimäen Lasi Oy in 1937. At its peak in 1968, it employed 1,200 people and produced 30,000 tons of glass products annually.

Several renowned designers worked for Riihimäki, including Aimo Okkolin (from 1937), Helena Tynell and Nanny Still (both from 1949), and Tamara Aladin (1959-1976). Their distinctive designs ranged from everyday glassware to artistic pieces that are now sought-after collectibles.

The company produced art glass until 1976 and cut glass until 1977, later focusing on machine-produced glass and plastic packaging. Ahlstrom Corporation purchased Riihimäki in 1980 and closed the plant in 1990. Since 1980, the Finnish Glass Museum has been housed in a former Riihimäki Glass factory building.
