Toikka (1931–2019) transformed the Iittala Glass Factory at Nuutajärvi into a studio of imagination, creating hundreds of individually mouth-blown birds that combine playful whimsy with masterful craftsmanship. Each piece is entirely unique, making every bird a collectible work of art.

This piece features a rounded, sculptural body, a tapered tail, and a clear glass head that beautifully contrasts with the rich, dark body. Swirling tones of green, bronze, and gold flow across its surface, capturing the sense of movement and natural elegance that define Toikka’s designs.

A striking addition to any collection, this bird embodies the artistry, whimsy, and enduring appeal of Scandinavian design. Its presence adds warmth, sophistication, and a touch of playful elegance to any interior. See less
