Description

finnish artist Oiva Toikka's birds
can be pure imagination or, as in the case of Eurasian Woodcock, a very
realistic representation. Toikka has captured all the characteristics
of this species: the extraordinarily long beak to forage for food in
soft ground; subtle brown markings perfect for blending into wooded
surroundings; a stocky build common to waders. One almost expects this
bird to begin swimming at any moment.

Eurasian Woodcock has a
transparent body adorned with brown and white scalloped markings. His
3-inch long beak is yellow to lustre color. Head is clear glass.

The
bird is about 10-1/4" inches long, 3-1/2 inches wide and 3-3/4 inches
tall. Mouth blown by iittala artisans in their Nuutajärvi Finland
glassworks. Production limited to 2007.
