Kastehelmi, Finnish for 'dewdrop', refers to the circles of bubbles in the pressed glass of the votive. Here two elements, water and fire, are combined. Beautiful reflections are created around the votive when there is a light inside.

The Kastehelmi range was originally designed in 1964 and it was also the outcome of a technical challenge. The idea of using droplets of glass as decoration came to Toikka when he was thinking of ways of covering the joint marks left on the surface of pressed glass pieces by the production process. The name of the range, which literally translates as 'Dew drop', was inspired by the drops of dew that can be seen glistening on blades of grass, likes rows of pearls, as the summer sun rises over the horizon.
