This Oiva Toikka Capercaillie Female Wood Grouse glass bird is handcrafted and mouthblown at the Iittala Glass Factory and retains an iittala sticker on the bottom. It features a mottled plummage of blues and grays inside layers of brown. Capercaillie is the largest member of the grouse family, the female being much smaller than the male. This impressive interpretation by Oiva Toikka plays ode to the rich jewel green, blue, and amber tones of the species with stunningly textured, iridescent glass. It features a mottled plummage of green and grays inside layers of brown. Handcrafted in Finland by iittala's skilled glassblowers, the iittala Toikka Capercaillie is truly a one-of-a-kind piece of art; no two are exactly alike. This displays beautifully as a pair with the Male Wood Grouse. (listed separately.)
Also Displays beautifully with 3 or more birds. See my other listings for options.
Oiva Toikka (1931-2019) is one of the greatest names in Finnish design. The iconic collection of Birds by Toikka first took flight back in 1972 at the Nuutajärvi glass factory with the creation of his small glass Flycatchers. For decades, Iittala’s legendary designers, master glassblowers and teams of glassmakers have innovated with textures, colours and design to create some of the most iconic art glass in the world.
Provenance: from the collection of Colin Richmond, Scottsville, New York.
As an interior designer, I purchase (usually at auction) and warehouse art and decorative items of interest. I shop from my warehouse for the finishing touches for my clients' homes. Several items are also listed on Chairish, but if I need them for a project, the listing will be deleted. less
