Its coloring is a mottled brown, which darkens near the tail. Toikka’s rendition takes these basic characteristics and imbues them with visionary splendor. His bird features a beautiful marbling pattern in tones of teal, brown and white upon a smoky glass body. The body is large and robust, while the head is held high as if appraising all that surrounds it. Its curved beak also contributes to his haughty air. Indeed, the beak is a uniquely beautiful feature of this bird, with its mottled green and blue finish.

The Willow Curlew is a limited edition bird, with only 2,000 being made at the Nuutjarvi Glass Factory in Finland. Do not miss the opportunity to own this splendid creation by artist, Oiva Toikka.
