Iittala Ruby Hot Shop Bird

Hand Blown at the Museum of Glass during the 2015 residency of Finnish Glassblowers Helena Welling and Arto Lahtinen, the birds made in our Hot Shop are an opportunity for the team to experiment with color palettes. Collectors can find traditional Iittala designs created with a one-of-a-kind twist.

Treasured by collectors the world over, these MOG creations are a rare collectable and have a limited availability. In 2015 the team created many birds in a variety of styles. 

Each bird is hand etched with “MOG IITTALA 2015” to commemorate the residency and ensure authenticity.  These birds do not come with an Iittala box.

The Ruby has a deep red body with blue-green speckles, a dark head and semi-transparent yellow beak.
