The Iittala Birds collection was created by Oiva Toikka, an internationally renowned artist and one of the greatest names in Finnish glass. His imagination and Iittala’s skilled Finnish glassblowers have created these magical glass birds for over 30 years. All of the Toikka birds are highly collectable, individually made, mouth-blown pieces of art.
In 2010, Oiva Toikka will have worked with the same company for 50 years, and to celebrate this milestone he has designed a special collection of pieces that is sure to further cement his reputation. Toikka’s anniversary collection includes a green version of his popular Ibis. The lustrous surface colour of the bird has been produced by using opal white alongside chrome green as the form is being blown.
Each Green Ibis Bird is handmade at Iittala’s famous glassworks in Nuutajärvi, Finland and carries “O. Toikka Nuutajärvi” mark ensuring authenticity. The size may vary.
