Q & A
A rare opportunity that no iittala Toikka glass bird collector should miss, the Metsätylli was once a special design for Stockmann of Finland but is now exclusive to GlassBirds and its partner sites. While the origin is significant, it's the impeccable craftsmanship that really makes this stunner shine...Following the smooth shape of its mouth-blown body, handcrafted ridges in the mysterious and smoky grey glass lend an intriguing texture. The opalescent glass of the graceful head is carried down to the tail in shimmery, reflective waves; a technique that is also repeated in a rich crimson red. The result is a mirrored motif that picks up the pigments and movement around it, yet tends to favor bluish-purple jewel tones that so well suit this one-of-a-kind gem. Gift the iittala Metsätylli to a true Toikka fan or allow its luster to be the talk of your own collection.
This Oiva TOikka collectible glass bird has been individually mouth-blown by the master glassblowers at iittala’s glassworks in Nuutajärvi, Finland. Each handcrafted iittala Toikka Metsätylli carries the signature “O. Toikka Nuutajärvi” on its base to ensure authenticity.
