One of our most popular glass birds, the Ruby Bird was introduced in 1992 and is surely one design that every collector of Oiva Toikka glass birds must have. The Ruby Red Bird has a transparent ruby red with silver and metallic blue spots and changes color with different light.On the base of each individualized bird is acid-stamped the signature of the artist and of his studio in Nuutajärvi, Finland.
One, if not the most recognizable names in Finnish glass design, Oiva Toikka’s boundless imagination has taken glass art to new heights.

I love this Ruby Red Bird! I smile every time I see it, which is always since it sits prominently in my living room with a smaller Toikka Red Bird. A perfect 44th Anniversary gift!!
Pros
The packaging was super, with several layers of protection, it was safe and sound when I opened the package. Thank you for offering such beautiful Finnish designs and products!

My mother is from Finland and she always brought a Toikka bird as a hostess gift. I continued the tradition when I gave this Ruby Red Bird bird to my in-laws when they hosted Christmas dinner. I chose red because of the season and the warmth the color emanated. The Toikka bird is just the right size, not too bigto be garish, not to small to disappear in a room full of Christmas knick-knacks. The superior craftsmanship is immediately evident. Perhaps next year I will add to the tradition by giving a bird to myself!
