More about iittala Toikka Eurasian Woodcock Finnish artist Oiva Toikka's birds can be pure imagination or, as in the case of Eurasian Woodcock, a very realistic representation. Toikka has captured all the characteristics of this species: the extraordinarily long beak to forage for food in soft ground; subtle brown markings perfect for blending into wooded surroundings; a stocky build common to waders. One almost expects this bird to begin swimming at any moment.
Eurasian Woodcock has a transparent body adorned with brown and white scalloped markings. His 3-inch long beak is yellow to lustre color. Head is clear glass.
The bird is about 10-1/4" inches long, 3-1/2 inches wide and 3-3/4 inches tall. Mouth blown by iittala artisans in their Nuutajärvi Finland glassworks. Production limited to 2007.
