BULL FINCH / PUNATULKKU 1994 BY IITTALA Birds. Oiva Toikka's boundless inspiration and imagination find epression in his glass birds. Toikka's birds are handmade in Nuutajarvi, a glass-making village in Finland that is over two hundred years old. The creation of the birds demands great technical and artistic insight from the glassblowers. Each bird is unique, featuring its own distinctive color variations. Toikka's surprising and bold glass art deviates from the streamlined aesthetic of Nordic design. An internationally renowned artist, he has won numerous respected awards in recognition of his consummate artistry. The Birds collection is Toikka's best-known tour de force and it is renewed annually. The Birds are highly sought after as gifts and collector's pieces. Each bird is signed "O. Toikka Nuutajarvi" as proof of authenticity. 3" x 4" $200.00
