Little Barn Owl Figurine

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 Barn Owl is the smallest of the owls produced by Iittala. Its camouflage plumage consists of countless spots of dark colours and piercing white dots. The owl chick is mesmerising with its large orange-yellow eyes. Individual copies of the little owls may vary significantly in pattern (the dots may be replaced by streaks in places) and the eyes may vary slightly in colour - this is a consequence of the handmade method of making the figurines.
