2012 iittala Toikka BirdsAs we enter the year 2012, iittala designer Oiva Toikka’s world renowned glass birds celebrate their 40th anniversary. Oiva Toikka designed his first birds in the 1970s -and now, 40 years later his birds have gained quite a loyal following. This year, new birds and popular classics enter the collection, combining new beauties with old classics to make a group of breathtaking colors and shapes. From the 2012 Annual bird and egg, Mirella, to the Festive Catcher or Crow, this group of birds is a striking testament to the work of Oiva Toikka, and the work he will continue to create. |  |
