Glass bowl as a baptismal font

Many children were born in Finland after the Winter War and Continuation War. The generations who fought the war rebuilt Finland and sought their place in society. This glass bowl was used as a baptismal font in Somero in 1955. The family moved from Pieksämäki to Somero and then on to Hämeenlinna. The father was an electrical engineer, and the mother worked as a head clerk before they got married.
