An apricot-colored body is the first thing you might notice about the Mountain Bird, or Kelokuukkeli in Finnish; but there are lots of lovely details. A prominent beak and stocky build gives it an important presence even among a large flock of Toikka birds. It was released in 2005 and retired two years later, so it’s a special find. The first glass birds of Birds by Toikka collection were designed in 1972 by Professor Oiva Toikka, renowned for his unique contribution to Finnish art glass over the past half-century. Every year, Oiva Toikka and the skilled glassblowers assisting him at the Nuutajärvi Glass Factory, the oldest in Finland, breathe life into yet new species of Iittala Birds. So far over 400 species have been created, some of them more enduring in production than others. Each bird is a mouth-blown, unique individual, signed with the artists name. The passing of time enhances the value of these art objects that is why Birds by Toikka are cherished and valued gifts and irresistible to collectors around the world.
