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 9" W x 6.5" T Each piece is unique and lovely Find
