Designer Oiva Toikka created each of his glass bird designs in close collaboration with the master glassblowers first at Nuutajärvi glass Factory and later at the Iittala Glass Factory. The designs combine Toikka's love for nature and passion for glass art, taking inspiration from actual birds yet also being an intriguing work of imagination.
