Oiva Toikka (1931 – 2019) is one of the most renowned Finnish designers in the field of glass art. His famous glass birds are highly prized by art collectors. Oiva Toikka enjoys a successful international career and has received numerous awards and accolades. Originally designed by Oiva Toikka in 1964, the Kastehelmi series was relaunched in 2010. Iconic collection of Iittala, its timeless design has survived the decades without ageing one bit. Kastehelmi ("dewdrop" in Finnish) is inspired by dewdrops that shimmer like a string of pearls in the morning sun. The idea of using glass drops as decoration came to Toikka while he was thinking about different ways to cover the marks left by the glass production process... A brilliant idea, which was behind the success of the collection! Each piece in the collection is adorned with circles of delicate bubbles embedded in the pressed glass. This relief decoration plays with light and gives each piece its own distinct character. A great wedding or housewarming gift.
