    Like his annual bird, the annual egg embodies designer Oiva Toikka’s boundless creativity, his passion for blown glass art and the designer’s hands-on-approach with his team of master craftsmen at the Iittala Glass Factory. Each art object is individually mouth blown in Finland. Available in 2019 or as long as stocks last.

     Every year, Professor Oiva Toikka and the skilled glassblowers assisting him at the Nuutajärvi Glass Factory, the oldest in Finland, breathe life into yet new species of Iittala Birds. The first bird was the Flycatcher, appearing in different colour variations. 

    Size: H 13 cm, W 9 cm.
