Bianco Blu Blackbird

More about Bianco Blu BlackbirdThe Bianco Blu Blackbird is covered in iridescent flakes, making it look like this bird's feathers are wet from a dip in the cool lake. A long, orange beak is a pleasant pop of color in contrast to the otherwise neutral body. This bird would make a beautiful gift for fans of Finnish design or glass birds this season.

Crafted in Fiskars, Finland exclusively for GlassBirds.com, the Bianco Blu Blackbird is truly a one-of-a-kind piece of art you won't find anywhere else. The bird was designed by artist Tarmo Maaronen and mouth-blown by a small team of skilled blowers. Maaronen was born in 1963 in Urjala, Finland and has been blowing glass since 1979. He worked as a teacher of Scandinavian glass techniques from 1995-1997, until he founded his own glass studio Bianco Blu.
