Bianco Blu Magpie

More about Bianco Blu MagpieCrafted in Fiskars, Finland exclusively for GlassBirds.com, the Bianco Blu Magpie 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. Like it's real-life counterpart, the Magpie is a dark bird with a blue striped wing and milky white belly. Indents indicate the eyes and a strong beak gives it a handsome profile.
