Q & A
Meet the 2019 Annual Bird by Oiva Toikka: Vuono. In Finnish, the name means fjord: a deep, narrow, and long sea or lake drain surrounded by steep land. Fittingly, marine blue hues can be found in the metallic stripes that swirl like waves from the bird's neck down to its tail. Looking up towards the sky, the head shares this same lustrous finish. The rest of the mouth-blown body is a beautiful indigo color, which may feel blue, grey, or violet to you depending on your mood and perspective. Only in the product selection for 2019, each handcrafted iittala Toikka Vuono 2019 Annual Bird carries the signature “O. Toikka IITTALA 2019” to ensure authenticity. Like all Toikka birds, the variation in craftsmanship makes each one even more unique, so yours may not look just like the one pictured.

I just love this bird! I paired this bird with the smaller, white-spotted, nearly transparent iittala Toikka Snow Finch on a window sill so that you get the effect of four bird for the price of two because of the effect of natural light from outside versus artificial light from inside at night on the iridescences and opacities of the two birds.
