A highly collectable piece of glass, the Black Ibis was created by designer Oiva Toikka and is truly unique. Like polished onyx, the inky black glass is expertly mouth-blown to create this bird's perfectly rounded body. Known for holding one pose for long moments of time, the Ibis is aptly captured in a stoic wading position. The opaque face and shimmering iridescent silver beak stand out against the deep abyss of the bird's body. Perched on a pedestal base, the Black Ibis by iittala flaunts intelligent design and breathtaking beauty.
The 2011 collection of birds by Oiva Toikka are individually mouth-blown by the master glassblowers at iittala's glassworks in Nuutajärvi, Finland. Each handcrafted iittala Toikka Black Ibis carries the signature "O. Toikka Nuutajärvi" on its base to ensure its authenticity.

The Ibis is such a wonderful creation, and the black Ibis in particular is enigmatic and elegant. The shiny beak complements the silky black rather nicely. It's a pleasantly (unexpectedly) plump bird. A great addition to any collection.
