No chips, cracks, or damage. Note image #3 – There are two blemishes on the beak. They look like groups of bubbles. I’ve been told this happens during the creation of the bird. Sand, soda, lime and fire. In the heart of the hot shop, in a fiery kiln, elements melt to create red-hot glass mass. A skilled hand grabs a pipe, lifts a gather of glass out of the oven, and starts working on it: calmly, phase by phase. Twirl, lift, blow – a small miracle takes place: the unique idea of an artist appears in the mass. At the Iittala glass factory in Nuutajarvi, a millenia-old tradition of glassmaking is strongly alive. This is the birthplace of Iittala’s jewels – the glass birds. Dimensions – approx 6″ x 5″. Mouth Blown – each is unique. The item “Iittala Oiva Toikka Male Pine Grosbeak Glass Bird” is in sale since Sunday, February 11, 2018.
