Helena Tynell (1918–2016) has designed many classics for the Finnish Riihimäen Lasi glassworks. Some of the most well-known objects are the sculptural decanters from 1969. They come with uni-colored glass, lid and humorous expression. The four bottles are characters from the Finnish author Zacharias Topelius’ children story ”Small Matti”. Each decanter were accompanied with small schnapps glass. The series was in production until 1971.
