Oiva Toikka's stylistic "Sieppo" (Flycatcher) bird with a rounded form, yellow glass, and joyous expression. It was mouth-blown and hand crafted, giving it distinctive character and color variations.
The sieppo was designed in 1972 as part of the ”Birds” (Linnut) series. Iconic Finnish design!
Original box is included.
Your bird may differ slightly from the sample images. Rest assured, however, that you will get a high-quality object that we have inspected and personally selected for you.
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 fluid forms of birds are ideally suited to being represented in glass."
