Q & A
The black swan of iittala's bird collection, the iittala Toikka Sooty Owl is among the most captivating. The impossibly black body of the bird is festooned in large metallic spots that change from cerulean blue to sunset orange depending on the light.An experimental bird originally designed for the Japanese market, the piece was so charming that it became part of the permanent collection. The face of the owl is constructed using a unique molding technique. After molding the face, golden granules are sprinkled-on to create a curious expression…the face plate is then fired to permanently emblazon the expression. Bold and beautiful, this owl is a must have for iittala collectors.
