With a slender body and short stature, the iittala Toikka Little Lilac Tern is yet another flawless interpretation brought to us by Oiva Toikka. When they aren't swooping from the sky to catch a fish in the water, these sea birds are often on the go, migrating some of the longest distances in the avian world. Here, its movement is paused and its beauty is captured to appreciate the upturned beak, tapered tail and broad chest...

Clear glass is tinted with a lovely lilac tone, concentrating on different parts of the bird depending on the angle from which the light hits it. This special edition bird makes a truly one-of-a-kind gift for the holidays, as each one is still mouth-blown at iittala's glassworks in Finland, leaving no two terns exactly alike. Whether for a friend's or your own treasured collection, the iittala Toikka Little Lilac Tern will delight as much as its feathered fellow does in flight.
