This elegant art glass bird is a classic example of Finnish design, handcrafted by the legendary Oiva Toikka for Iittala. Known as the "Willow Grouse" (Riekko), this piece features a beautiful, mottled white-on-clear glass body that perfectly mimics the snowy plumage of the bird in its winter coat.
The craftsmanship is evident in the delicate, translucent beak and the smooth, organic curves of the body and tail. The "spotted" or "flaked" texture creates a wonderful sense of depth when caught by the light, making it a sophisticated addition to any glass collection or a standalone statement piece for minimalist decor.
