Product Information
Oiva Toikka’s Willow Curlew seamlessly blends the real with the imaginary. Modeled after the real life Curlew, who dwells in the estuaries and coastal meadows of coastal nations, Toikka’s Willow Curlew is a visionary interpretation of the wading bird. Toikka’s Curlew boasts rich color and strong lines that transform this ordinary bird into something much more extraordinary. The robust body is enriched by a marbled mixture of teal, brown and white that becomes denser near the tail. The Curlew’s somewhat haughty expression is due to its curved beak, which is set in deep tones of blue and green. Together, all its uniquely fashioned details make this bird a treasure that you will love displaying in your home.
The Willow Curlew is a limited edition bird, with only 2,000 being made at the Nuutjarvi Glass Factory in Finland. Do not miss the opportunity to own this splendid creation by artist, Oiva Toikka.
