Oiva Toikka's stylistic "Sieppo" (Flycatcher) birds with rounded forms, colorful glass, and joyous expressions. They were mouth-blown and hand crafted, giving them distinctive character and color variations.
The sieppo was designed in 1972 as part of the ”Birds” (Linnut) series. Iconic Finnish art pieces!
Original boxes are included.
The sieppo appears in the definitive guide to the artist’s work, ”Oiva Toikka's Birds”, as shown in the photos in our listing.
(The birds you see in our photos are the ones you will receive.)
"The fluid forms of birds are ideally suited to being represented in glass."
