This listing is for a beautiful art glass bird from Oiva Toikka during his years at Nuutajärvi (prior to his designing birds for Iittala). This piece is a silver Pheasant or Fasaani from the 1980s – an iconic bird in the long list of Oiva Toikka birds. This bird has shining silvery gray glass coloring with red wings and head. From a quote by Toikka Every bird has its own expression. The deviations make each bird one of a kind. It is a fine example of contemporary glass art which Toikka is renowned for throughout his long career. The bird measures approximately 7 ¼ in length, 4 ¾ in height and 3 ¾ in width. The bottom is artist signed Oiva Toikka / Nuutajarvi Notsjo. The only issue found is slight roughness to the tip of the beak. It just feels a bit rough so not sure if this is a flaw or as from blowing process. I will pack your item carefully.
