Oiva Toikka created each Birds by Toikka glass bird in close cooperation with glassblowers, first at the Nuutajärvi glass factory and later at the Iittala glass factory. Each bird is inspired by a real bird, but embodies Toikka's inexhaustible imagination and artistic approach to glass. The annual bird of 2024, the Ladybird, has a classic bird shape with attractive brown, blue and green feather decoration. The annual bird is the perfect gift to remind you of the most important moments of the year or a unique addition to every collector's collection. Each bird is carved to mark the year. Only available through 2024.

Features

Oiva Toikka is one of the greatest names in Finnish design. His iconic glass birds took flight in 1972 with a new bird joining the flock every year. Inspired by nature and Toikka’s passion for blown glass art, every bird has its own personality making it a truly one of a kind art object. Handcrafted and mouthblown at the Iittala Glass Factory in Finland, the collection embodies Toikka’s endless imagination. Iittala re-launches the original Flycatcher design from the 1970’s. The colourful bird features a simple, transparent body in moss green with a copper beak. Reflects light beautifully. An elegant home decoration that makes a precious gift.
