Q & A
A speckled beauty, the iittala Toika Mistle Thrush captures your attention with an opal-grey body and periwinkle spots.As with most of his annual birds, artist Oiva Toikka proposed that a special technique called fire staining be used when creating this bird. This unique process creates misty surface which adds dimension and mystique to the bird's plumage. The large rounded body, steel blue plank tail and sizeable head provide an interesting contrast to the perpendicular angle of the beak and tail.
Structurally sound, the pedestal base allows the Mistle Thrush to stand stoically on any display surface. Known in the wild for their unmistakable siren song, the beauty of this bird silently calls out memorizing all who look at it. A limited edition, only 220 were made to commemorate the 220-jubilee year so purchase yours before it's too late.
