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.
Rosebud is the Annual Bird for 2010. It has been created by blowing glass into a spiked mould. Skilfully swirling the molten glass in the mould blends the opal white and reddish-brown glass into a striped vortex that is then suddenly stopped in its tracks.
Each Rosebud Bird is handmade at Iittala’s famous glassworks in Nuutajärvi, Finland and carries “O. Toikka Nuutajärvi” mark ensuring authenticity. The size may vary.
