Product Information
The limited edition iittala Kingfisher captures the true nature of an impressive bird through impeccably crafted glass. In nature, the Kingfisher is known for spectacular dives into the water to catch fish, because of this craft they are built with large, strong beaks. Master glassblower Oiva Toikka recreates the drama by using an iridescent sliver-blue color to highlight the bird’s most proud feature; the beak. A dark blue body perfectly balances the bird’s bright orange stomach to give it character and personality. Slightly smaller in size, the Kingfisher is a regal bird that is beautifully captured in this hand-crafted glass sculpture. As a limited edition bird, only 750 of these birds were created so be sure to add it to your collection before time runs out.
The 2010 collection of birds by Oiva Toikka are individually mouth-blown by the master glassblowers at iittala’s glassworks in Nuutajärvi, Finland. Each handcrafted iittala Toikka Kingfisher carries the signature “O. Toikka Nuutajärvi”on its base to ensure its authenticity.
