Named after the city it's inspired by, the New York bird is part of a special collaboration between Toikka and urban influencers. With only 200 birds in the entire five-city collection, the unique mouth-blown glass masterpiece is a must-have for passionate Toikka collectors. The opal white details swirls upwards towards blue skies to symbolize skyscrapers and opportunity. This craftsmanship is a reflection of the skilled iittala glass blowers and the story telling of designer Oiva Toikka, who found his first visit to the city to be maze-like yet sweet and sympathetic.

Iittala handpicked Sight Unseen blog editor Monica Khemsurov to channel the soul of New York City in this collaborative design. The birds of Oiva Toikka's 2015 collection are individually mouth-blown by the master glassblowers at iittalas glassworks in Finland. Each handcrafted iittala Toikka New York carries the signature O. Toikka IITTALA and is numbered x/200 on its base to ensure authenticity.
