Oiva Toikka (1931-2019) is one of the great personas of Finnish glass design. His imaginative, rich and bold glass art is a departure from mainstream Nordic design. Toikka’s individual style is also evident in the utility objects he creates as they often deviate from the traditional clean-lined puritanism of Finnish design aesthetics. In addition to glass, his artistic activities cover staging, fashion design and plastic interior design elements.

Toikka has gained a solid international reputation throughout his prolific career, which dates back to the 1950s, having worked with well-known designers and artists both in Finland and abroad. He has won several prestigious awards including the Kaj Franck Design Prize and the Prince Eugen Medal. In 1993, Toikka was given the honorary title of Professor of the Arts by the state of Finland. Birds by Toikka, a series designed for Iittala combines the artist’s limitless imagination with his expertise in the characteristics of glass. The unique and colorful birds, which are all handmade, have become the passion of collector’s worldwide.

Iittala Kastehelmi tumblers, gift boxed in a set of 2, are part of the popular 'dewdrop' design originally conceived by Oiva Toikka in 1964. These delicate looking yet durable glass tumblers are a functional and decorative and add style to any table. This droplet design was used to hide any joins made in the production process and now is famous for these concentric circles of bubbled glass decoration.The droplet effect enhances the optical quality of Iittala's glass.
