AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Flycatcher in Oiva Toikka's glass, the Flycatcher. Created at the Nuutajärvi glassworks in 1972. The Flycatcher continues to be produced today through mouth-blown glass at the Iittala glassworks. Each piece is unique. Each Flycatcher has its own personality.
These two pieces are made in the beautiful colors of amethyst purple and blue, both with green beaks. The 'pigliamosche' is a small blown glass art piece for those who appreciate art and beauty.

Oiva Toikka (1931-2019) was a Finnish glass artist who became globally renowned for his collection of art glass birds, created for the brand iittala. His glass art stands out from the simple aesthetics of Nordic design, being instead rich, imaginative, and lively.
