Description
Master craftsman Oiva Toikka immortalizes the American Robin in honor of FinnFest 2014, forever capturing its beauty in glass. Like its inspiration, his creation flaunts a radiant red-orange breast, blended with a blotted texture into bluish-grey wings. Its luminous yellow beak is held perfectly poised by a dark, distinguished head. With only 300 produced, each mouth-blown piece is etched with "FinnFest 2014 O. Toikka iittala" to remind you of its special story. Their handcrafted nature allows each bird to be truly unique, making the American Robin a one-of-a-kind gift or rare addition to your own collection.

The site of FinnFest 2014, Minneapolis, Minnesota experiences some of the harshest winters, where the first Robin sighting is considered a symbol of spring's anticipated arrival and a good luck omen. Even if you don't see the quick sprinters, you're sure to hear them; the songbirds' melodic tune is often the first heard at dawn and the last sung at sunset. You may even be lucky enough to stumble upon a nest of their brightly colored eggs, which made "Robin's Egg Blue" a recognized hue...
