Flycatcher was the original bird designed for Finnish glassworks Iittala back in 1972 at the start of what was to become their enduring Birds by Toikka series. The little bird is relaunched in 2021 in five sumptuous colours, a celebration of Oiva Toikka's influece in the field of Finnish design and art glass. The latest Toikka birds are ready to capture the imaginations of a whole new generation of collectors and lovers of the great art of mouth-blown glass.
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 which have been hand crafted by Iittala. With a streamlined interpretation of the shape and movement of the birds, the artist collaborates closely with traditional glass makers 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.
