This Toikka bird was originally designed in 1997 and is inspired by the real Tengmalm's Owl, named after Swedish Naturalist Peter Gustaf Tengmalm. Artist Oiva Toikka captures the species' wondrous gaze, plump body and stoic posture in his mouth-blown in Finland rendition. A speckled motif adds interest to the green body, but the focus falls on its moonlit eyes. This bird is referred to as Tengmans Owl in the iittala catalog

The birds of Oiva Toikka's collection are individually mouth-blown by the master glassblowers at iittalas glassworks in Finland. Each handcrafted iittala Toikka Tengmalm's Owl carries the signature O. Toikka IITTALA on its base to ensure authenticity and remind you of its special origin.
