Q & A
Graceful with a slender build, the iittala Toikka Little Lilac Tern is a flawless example of designer Oiva Toikka's beautiful interpretations. When they aren't diving into the water to catch a meal, these sea birds are often on the move, migrating some of the longest distances in the avian world. Here, its movement is paused and its beauty is captured to appreciate the upturned beak, tapered tail and broad chest. Stunning in clear glass tinted with lilac, the color concentrates on different parts of the bird depending on the angle from which the light hits it. This special edition bird would be one-of-a-kind holiday gift, as each one is still mouth-blown at iittala's glassworks in Finland and therefore unique. Whether for a friend's or your own treasured collection, the iittala Toikka Little Lilac Tern will delight as much as its living counterpart does in flight.
