The Nuutajarvi glass village was founded in 1793 by Jacob Wilhelm de Pont and Harald Furnhjelm. The location was chosen for its forest resources, as firing the glass required vast firewood. While many glass factories were popping up around this time, Nuutajarvi still stands out because up until its close in 2014, it was the oldest working glass factory in Finland. The Nuutajarvi company merged with Iittala. In 1988, and it is where. Oiva Toikka’s glass birds. Were made for forty years. Though production has since moved to Iittala’s main factory in Finland, the birds are still handcrafted and mouth-blown by Iittala’s master glass blowers. Make us an offer!! – we will negotiate.
