Designer Oiva Toikka’s iconic Birds by Toikka collection first took flight in 1972 with the creation of his small glass Flycatchers at the Nuutajärvi glass factory. Created in close collaboration with the glassblowers, the Birds by Toikka collection combined Toikka’s passion for nature and blown glass art. In 2014 the production of the series was transferred to the Iittala Glass Factory, where Toikka continued his close partnership with the team. Each glass bird is a one of a kind art object. Handcrafted and mouthblown, the Birds by Toikka collection embodies a rich fusion of glassmaking traditions. Iittala’s relaunch of the original Flycatcher from the 1970’s features a nest of small, colourful birds that are each a unique miracle of glass. The simple body in elegant rain and beak in red glass reflects light beautifully. A lovely home decoration that makes a precious gift.
