More about iittala Toikka Pang PenguinClean lines and elegant contrasts distinguish this penguin by Oiva Toikka. It is more minimalist than other Toikka birds because, as Oiva Toikka puts it, “Penguins are such sculptural birds in their own right that one doesn’t need to add anything.” There is purity to the glass, which is so clean and carefully polished that it looks as if the penguin just came out of the water.Clean lines and elegant contrasts distinguish this penguin by Oiva Toikka. It is more minimalist than other Toikka birds because, as Oiva Toikka puts it, “Penguins are such sculptural birds in their own right that one doesn’t need to add anything.” There is purity to the glass, which is so clean and carefully polished that it looks as if the penguin just came out of the water. The penguin is completed by a small tail at its base and a perky little beak. Pang is slightly smaller than his brother, Ping, and together they would make a stunning set.

Your Pang penguin is an individually made, mouth-blown piece of art handcrafted by the master glassblowers at iittala’s famous glassworks in Nuutajärvi, Finland. Each bird is signed “O Toikka Nuutajärvi” at its base.
