The Sieppo birds were part of Nuutajärvi’s 1972 collection, which included a number of other glass pieces. The idea of launching a separate bird collection was born only later on. Two versions of the Sieppo were produced – with and without a foot. The colours are stunning and very vivid which made the birds very appealing to the public.
