Q & A
Quendelon's captivating color may be the first feature that catches your eye; a transparent yet vivid blue, it is reminiscent of a clear sky.

It is this careful craftsmanship by the master blowers at iittala's works combined with the imaginative design of Professor Oiva Toikka that gives the iittala glass birds their unmatched beauty and collectability.The birds of Oiva Toikka's 2015 collection are individually mouth-blown by the master glassblowers at iittala’s glassworks in Finland. Each handcrafted iittala Toikka Quendelon carries the signature “O. Toikka IITTALA” on its base to ensure authenticity.
