Q & A
Light brown with stippled texturing, Toikka’s Tilda bird is simply beautiful. The light stippling technique is the result of an accident: Nuutajärvi workers noticed that dirt from the molds left light grey markings on the glass. Toikka, being the innovative designer he is, embraced this accident and incorporated it into the design of Tilda. Dirt was added to a spikey mold to give the bird its distinctive look and texture.Light brown with stippled texturing, Toikka’s Tilda bird is simply beautiful.

The deeper grey lines against the bird’s brown body are delicate and lovely; this bird certainly rewards the attentive eye. Make this whimsical bird a part of your collection; you will appreciate its lovely texture and gorgeous detail.
