Hand Blown iittala Toikka Pigeon

Posted on March 14, 2025 by admin

Immediately recognizable as a pigeon, but not the kind of pigeon one would encounter in most cities, Toikkas rendition of the common bird has a mystical quality. Like many of Toikkas creations, his pigeon is a mixture of fiction and reality, proportioned as his imagination sees fit. Its stunning glass finish will inspire you as the light hits the surface, revealing the rainbows of color contained therein. The body of the pigeon is plump and humble, but Toikkas beautiful use of color endows it with an ethereal glory. The birds head has a metallic grey finish that changes according to the light and its granite colored beak displays a similar effect. Make this bird a part of your collection and let yourself be inspired by its subtle beauty. Rainbows of color hidden in the gray feathers will never cease to garner your appreciation and surprise. 6-1/2″ H x 12-1/4″ L (16.5 x 31 cm).

Its lovely white body is speckled with air bubbles and light brownish markings, which give the illusion of plumage. This effect is the result of a serendipitous event at the Nuutajrvi glass factory in which workers discovered that dirt left in the molds produced tracery-like markings on the glass. Toikka, seeing the potential in these markings, decided to incorporate this supposed defect into his designs. The vivid yellow head and metallic beak are wonderful counterpoints to the otherwise monotone bird. 8″ L x 3-1/2″ W x 4-3/4 H (20 x 9 x 12 cm). Toikka, Nuutajärvi, Finn Fest 2009.
