Iittala Birds by Toikka Willow Grouse

Relaunched this year by the Iittala glassworks in Finland, the much-loved Birds by Toikka Willow Grouse is a very welcome return to the collection. With its soft, natural colour and clear head and beak, the design is inspired by the real bird which hails from Lapland.

Born from a happy marriage between highly skilled craftsmen at the Iittala glassworks in Finland and the creative vision of artist and designer Oiva Toikka, the Toikka birds first came to life in 1972 and have since become admired and collected by glass lovers the world over. Over the course of four decades, the prolific Toikka has designed upwards of 500 glass birds that have been hand-crafted by Iittala. With a streamlined interpretation of the shape and movement of the birds, the artist collaborates closely with traditional glassmakers to add bold colour and vital form to the pieces and somehow to capture the nature and character of the creatures with striking, captivating results. Every one of Toikka’s sleek glass birds is unique, and is not just an individual work of art, but is also a highly prized outcome of the respected Finnish glass blowing tradition.
