Description
Birds by Toikka small owl from Iittala is handcrafted by skilled glassblowers at Iittala’s glass factory in Finland. The small owl, designed by Oiva Toikka, symbolises wisdom and knowledge and makes an appreciated gift. Each owl is unique and reflects Toikka’s passion for nature and glass art.
Our Stylist Says
I love this little owl because it adds a whimsical touch to both modern and rustic interiors. Its muted grey tones and subtle detailing make it versatile enough to sit on a shelf, coffee table, or as a centrepiece, while its playful shape keeps the vibe relaxed. As it's categorised under vases, it works well with small floral arrangements or greenery to bring a fresh element to a deskside or sideboard. For styling tips, try pairing it with natural materials like wood or linen for a cosy Scandinavian look, or place it alongside other Nordic-inspired accessories to create a curated charm. Its size and character make it ideal for adding personality to understated spaces without overwhelming the decor.
