Q & A
A brilliant ultramarine blue, the vivid color of iittala's Toikka Ultramarine Blue Shorebird makes a statement with its simplicity. Here, Toikka's interpretation is blown from stunning 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 blue that decorates 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 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 Ultramarine Blue Shorebird's base.

I have an ultramarine tern. The shorebird looks fantastic with it. The blue is one of my favorite colors. I would get additional birds if they were the same color!!
