Iittala Birds by Toikka Leppäinen, light lilac

Iittala’s Leppäinen bird from the Birds by Toikka collection is an elegant glass fowl with a pastel-colored plumage. This bird has pedestal-like long legs and large tail feathers. The bird is hand-crafted, making each individual one-of-a-kind – just like their natural counterparts.

The first glass birds of Birds by Toikka collection were designed in 1972 by Professor Oiva Toikka, renowned for his unique contribution to Finnish art glass over the past half-century. Each bird is a mouth-blown, unique individual, signed with the artist’s name. The passing of time enhances the value of these art objects – that is why Birds by Toikka are cherished and valued gifts and irresistible to collectors around the world.
