This is a signed “Birds By Toikka”. And has the red ” i ” sticker “made in Finland”. I do not know which type of bird! I liked the pattern of the swirls, and that some swirls look like wings. It has an amber tail and amber as you look down into the clear glass head. While taking photos I noticed the different colors, the amber, reddish, and greens. Very hard to get a good photo of the signature! I wish that were better, but it says. Approx 7″ from tail to beak , and 4.5″ tall. It weighs a bit over 1lb. His imaginative, rich and bold glass art is a departure from mainstream Nordic design. Toikkas individual style is also evident in the utility objects he creates as they often deviate from the traditional clean-lined puritanism of Finnish design aesthetics. In addition to glass, his artistic activities cover staging, fashion design and plastic interior design elements. Toikka has gained a solid international reputation throughout his prolific career, which dates back to the 1950s, having worked with well-known designers and artists both in Finland and abroad. He has won several prestigious awards including the Kaj Franck Design Prize and the Prince Eugen Medal. In 1993, Toikka was given the honorary title of Professor of the Arts by the state of Finland. Birds by Toikka, a series designed for Iittala combines the artists limitless imagination with his expertise in the characteristics of glass. The unique and colorful birds, which are all handmade, have become the passion of collectors worldwide.
