Iittala Birds by Toikka Sand Butler 1050264 Brand New in Mint Box. The beloved Butler, one of the late Oiva Toikka’s most impressive designs, slips on a new soft shade for 2019: Sand. The iittala Toikka Butler was inspired by the traditional notion of a formal butler, with his shoes always polished and his demeanor always cordial. His character is far from stuffy, however; though he abides to his uniform of the classic dinner jacket with a flared out tail, he also dons stylish stripes that accentuate his proper posture from head to rounded toe. But perhaps the first feature to you’ll see when he greets you is his prominent, pointed beak, followed by the sleek tuft of hair artfully handcrafted from opalescent, mouth-blown glass. Each bird is mouth-blown in Finland by iittala’s master blowers and is signed O. Toikka IITTALA on its base to ensure authenticity.
