Toikka bird Duck, brown

Design: Oiva Toikka

The Duck from the Iittala Birds by Toikka collection is a playful yet elegant interpretation of a natural motif by designer Oiva Toikka. The combination of a brown body, blue head and a distinctive orange beak creates a characteristic color contrast that gives the bird a lively and distinctive expression.

Each piece is created using the traditional hand-blown glass technique at the Finnish glassworks Iittala, making each bird an original with its own expression and subtle variations that underline its uniqueness. It also works great as a collector's item or a special gift.

The Birds by Toikka collection began in 1972, when Finnish designer Oiva Toikka created the first series of glass birds at the Nuutajärvi glassworks. Since then, hundreds of different designs have been created and the collection has become an icon of Finnish design around the world. Each bird is original – created by hand and reflecting both Toikko's boundless imagination and the mastery of the glassmakers who bring his designs to life.
