The collection of decorative bird figurines by Professor Oiva Toikki is one of the most well-known collectible series and ranks among the design canon. The small works of art designed by the Finnish classicist, who specialises in glass products, captivate with their wealth of colours, patterns and the masterful precision of the material. The designer, thoroughly familiar with the techniques of working with glass, has created a series of unique proposals based on and inspired by the beauty of nature. Each piece in the Birds by Toikka collection has been handcrafted by experienced artisans at the glassworks in Nuutajärvi, Finland.
Little Red Tern is a small figurine with quite a lot to offer. Made of clear, intense red glass, it is perfect for displaying in a brightly lit area, such as a window. It then comes to life, attracting the eye with its intense colour. The figurine is embellished with a head made of clear, colourless glass. Little Red Tern may be the beginning of a collection of glass birds by Oiva Toikki.
