Q & A
A brilliant turquoise blue, the beautiful color of iittala's Toikka Turquoise Blue Shorebird makes a statement with its simplicity. Here, Toikka's interpretation is blown from vivid ultramarine glass with an elegant form that is familiar to Toikka collectors. The head, beak, and tail are made from clear glass which magnifies the turquoise blue that decorate the iittala Toikka Shorebird's beautiful shape. Shorebirds spend much of their time near bodies of water wading while foraging for food perhaps inspiring the striking turquoise blue color of this bird.
It is the 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. Each piece is handcrafted, making your bird special and unique. Due to this, there may be slight variations from the pictured bird. Etched "O. TOIKKA IITTALA" at the iittala Toikka Turquoise Blue Shorebird's base.

The torquoise shorebird is prettier than in pictures. It is quite big and the color is so vibrant and the clean, simple design is so modern. I paired it with the blue one and it looks gorgeous on my shelf. Very pleased with this addition to my Iittala bird collection. Service from FinnStyle was as always exceptional. Well packed and quick delivery and lovely sale. Thank you!
