iittala Toikka Female Duck

This is one of the birds which exemplifies why I collect Toikka birds. When you look at the surface for texture and design, and you are not a professional glass blower, it truly makes you wonder how do they do that? That wonder of how those talented artists can create such works helps fuel my interest. Many times I look at a bird and want to see the process from beginning to end.
A great number of the Toikka’s do this for me, but some are over the top.
