Oiva Toikka's Kaiku bird with a rounded form, blue glass, and joyous expression. It was mouth-blown and handcrafted, giving it distinctive character and color variations.
An iconic Finnish art piece!
The bird is represented in the book "Oiva Toikka's Birds" as shown in the photos.
"The fluid forms of birds are ideally suited to being represented in glass."
