Description:
For many Toikka fans, Flycatcher will be a familiar friend. This species was the first to take flight in 1972 when Oiva Toikka started on the journey of designing these beloved birds to be hatched annually from mouth-blown glass. The small size makes them perfectly suited to windowsills and other nest-like nooks around the home or office. They also make for a great gift for any occasion or recipient thanks to their universal and timeless appeal. Though petite, each is packed with personality and will be loved for its sweet simplicity for many more years to come.
Birds by Toikka
Oiva Toikka (1931-2019) is one of the greatest names in Finnish design. His iconic collection of Birds by Toikka first took flight back in 1972 at the Nuutajärvi glass factory with the creation of his small glass Flycatchers. Since then hundreds of new birds have joined the flock. The collection embodies a rich fusion of glassmaking traditions and would not have been possible without Toikka’s hands-on-approach at the glassworks and his keen understanding of each employee’s skills. Today, each glass bird is handcrafted and mouthblown at the Iittala Glass Factory.
