Description:
The matte glass on the Mountain Redstart paired with the classic color combination of red, white and black is sure to create a unique addition to your glass birds collection or home decor.
The Mountain Redstarts are originally found east of the Urals, and the first sightings of these birds in Finland were in 1993 near the iittala glassworks, and Toikka created this bird a year later.
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.
