In 1973 the first bird made of glass was created for Iittalas bird- collection. Father of the, by now over 300 sample-covering collection, is the Finish glass designer Oiva Toikka. You can still get 43 different birds of the collection and every year there is a new collectible.

In cooperation with Iittala Oiva Toikka designs with a unique, virtuose approach a new member for Iittalas bird family. A mark of the birds is the in filigrabe work in the glass cloned coat of the birds, at which Oiva Toikka uses the glass like a painter his skid.

The apparent bouondless imagination of the designer, together with his knowledge and his experiences with glass, created a large amount of small wonders, which impress collectors all over the world. Every single glass bird is handmade and with that unique and a real collectible.
