Birds by Toikka Black-Collared Swallow
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.
7.5"x 6.75"
Limited to 200, the Black-Collared Swallow is a limited edition Corning Museum of Glass bird perfect for gifting a collector this season. The bottom of the pedestal foot is engraved "O. Toikka IITTALA CMOG 2020" and numbered x/200 to ensure authenticity and remind you of its origin and rarity. The sleek black body has a white stripe running down either side, as well as white eyes. A transparent orange break adds striking contrast to the dark, opaque body.
