| Description |
Toikka's vision of the Tiiri is a beautiful representation of the perfection and fragility of nature. A brilliant shade of deep purple/aubergine and accented with shimmering gold freckles and a forked tail, the Tiiri is one of Toikka's most striking and beautiful birds to date. Designed to look as if Tiiri is perched and proud, this is a bold piece that any collector will be proud to showcase. Inspiring hope and wonder, the Tiiri is a true treasure - a work of art that will be treasured every day.
Sand, soda, lime and fire. In the heart of the hot shop, in a fiery kiln, elements melt to create red-hot glass mass. A skilled hand grabs a pipe, lifts a gather of glass out of the oven, and starts working on it: calmly, phase by phase. Twirl, lift, blow - a small miracle takes place: the unique idea of an artist appears in the mass. At the Iittala glass factory in Nuutajarvi, a millenia-old tradition of glassmaking is strongly alive. This is the birthplace of Iittala's jewels - the glass birds.
Hand Made from Mouth Blown Glass approx 5.25" L x 3.25" T Each piece is unique and lovely
