Q & A
The fun-loving kid sister of traditional Toikka birds, the iittala Puffball is smaller in stature but don’t let that fool you because this bird packs a load of personality. Like its name suggests, the Puffball is a small, round bird that can fit in the palm of your hand. It’s perfectly plump body and slightly turned up beak give it a perky persona that's hard to resist.
A ball of fun, the Puffball is a two-toned black in color. Its head is made from crystal clear glass which sparkles in the light and provides a beautiful contrast against the bird’s dark body. The liquid black body is the color of midnight which gives the bird a refined yet lighthearted quality.An adorable addition to the Toikka bird repertoire, this pleasantly plump bird will brighten the mood of anyone who looks its direction. A darling display piece by itself or start a wonderful investment and collect the whole Puffball flock. The 2010 collection of birds by Oiva Toikka are individually mouth-blown by the master glassblowers at iittala’s glassworks in Nuutajärvi, Finland. Each handcrafted iittala Toikka Black Puffball carries the signature “O. Toikka Nuutajärvi” on its base to ensure its authenticity.

I ordered both the black and white version of the Toikka puffball to give as gifts, so the only thing I can say is that both birds are beautiful and arrived beautifully wrapped and protected from damage. They are lovely. Kiitos.
