Description
The Toikka Hiplu is Oiva Toikkas new creation, the gray winter bird.

The Toikka Hiplu is Oiva Toikkas new creation, the gray winter bird. Peppered with flecks of gold lustrous spots across a pearl-gray body, the bird sits nestled with its head held high, looking out over its surroundings. Reminiscent of a pure and snowy day, the translucent body is made of white opaque glass layered with gray. The mouth blown glass is then rolled in gold grains to achieve the glinting spots. The golden spots catch the light, giving the bird a moment to shine. Clear glass is added for the head and beak, and after cooling, the bird is signed O.Toikka Nuutajrvi.

As a part of the 2012 collection, the Hiplu celebrates 40 years of innovative and stylish Oiva Toikka birds. Each bird is handmade at iittalas famous glassworks in Nuutajrvi, Finland and carries a mark ensuring authenticity.
