Q & A
Exclusively handcrafted and exceptionally handsome, Cecil makes a one-of-a-kind gift for the holidays or a valuable addition to your own collection of mouth-blown glass birds. Only 250 of this special style have been made by iittala's master glassblowers. Joining Oiva Toikka's growing family of grouses, Cecil boasts a rich red body which blends flawlessly into orange for a stunning, sunset-like palette. Scalloped lines artfully depict the texture of feathers, starting sharply around the breast but gradually become a blur of windswept lines towards the tail; it's as if the bird is in motion. Its slender head is mirror finished and sits watchfully atop a tall neck, waiting to attract an audience.Artist Oiva Toikka of Finland renders the beauty of nature in captivating crystal birds. Master glassblowers create these collectible works of art by hand, making each bird unique. Crystal art glass birds are one of the fastest-growing collectibles, and glass as a medium is enjoying a resurgence of popularity. Bird species provide an amazing palette for the artist and designers, while collectors recognize the quality of these handmade and unique works every year.

The iittala Toikka Cecil Red Grouse has a flowing form and pop of colors. The bird is larger than I expected and its beauty glows in natural light. I was amazed that this well packaged bird arrived at my door within 24 hours from the time I ordered it online! FinnStyle Rocks! Kiitos.

Red Grouse

I bought this bird figure as a gift for my daughter, who has a lovely display of colored glass items on an étagère in her living room. The red grouse will join an emerald green Iittala bird that I gave her last year. It is a very beautiful piece.
