Description
Minneapolis, Minnesota is GlassBirds.com's home base and the host city of FinnFest 2017. There, a lucky onlooker might catch a glimpse of a Blackburnian Warbler headed south this autumn. Fall colors lend a vivid plumage to the stunning songbird, which has a yellow head and orange throat. Toikka recreated the species' pretty palette in his artistic interpretation, reserving the rest of the bird's black-and-white body for iittala's skilled glassblowers to leave their unique mark on. As in nature, no two are alike, making your iittala Toikka Blackburnian Warbler - FinnFest 2017 Bird a one-of-a-kind piece of Finnish glass art.

The birds of Oiva Toikka's collection are individually mouth-blown by the master glassblowers at iittalas glassworks in Finland. Each handcrafted iittala Toikka Blackburnian Warbler carries the signature O. Toikka IITTALA FinnFest 2017 on its base to ensure authenticity and remind you of its special origin.

Great bird

I really like this bird. It has character. The colours are bright and the design makes it stand out. Even among other Toikka Birds. All the finnfest birds are great.

Shipping to really long this time (3 months!) but that is because of the Covid-19 Pandemic and the lack of airmail.

Beautyful bird from North-America.

Blackburnian wharbler, 'sparrenzanger' in Dutch. In Europe - we live in the Netherlands - an rare astray, special blown in glass for the American market. Thus we made our order in the USA, at GlassBirds.com. Vere fast shipment: within two weeks we received the package, well cared for.
(Small warning: clearance costs amounts approximately $ 150 for a shipment from Minneapolis to Amsterdam, but... that's worth it!)

Such a beautiful piece of art glass

Though designed to sit on a surface, it settles into the coves of my palms perfectly. A cuddly glass sculpture is surprising. Beautiful too.

Beautiful bird in perfect condition

I liked my Toikka bird very much. Thank you Natalie careful packing. Custom fee was ok,
but I was suprised that the VAT fee was so high.
Still everything went smoothly and Iam happy.Thank you :)
