This glass Penguin was designed by Oiva Toikka for Iittala’s Birds by Toikka collection. Its name is Ping and it has a little brother – Pang – that entered the collection simultaneously. The body is really shiny jet black and the chest is pure white. The head and beak are black. At the end of the back there is the most endearing small tail. The glass is so polished and shiny the bird looks like it just came out of the water – it’s a Tubbergen penguin. Clean lines and elegant contrasts distinguish this penguin by Oiva Toikka. As the designer puts it, Penguins are such sculptural birds in their own right that one doesnt need to add anything. The bird is signed on the base O. Toikka Nuutajärvi and has the characteristic Iittala sticker on the base. No cracks, restoration, scratches or other flaws. With original Iittala sticker on the base. Height: 5-1/2 – 140 mm. Width (Base): 3-1/4 – 80 mm. Width (Top, below the head): 2-3/4 – 70 mm. Weight (unpacked): 520 g. The item location is Lisbon, Portugal. I will send it worldwide well packed and safe.
