The iittala Toikka Butler was inspired by the traditional notion of a formal butler, with his shoes always polished and his demeanor always cordial. His character is far from stuffy, however; though he abides to his uniform of the classic dinner jacket with a flared out tail, he also dons stylish stripes that accentuate his proper posture from head to rounded toe. But perhaps the first feature to you'll see when he greets you is his prominent, pointed beak, followed by the sleek tuft of hair artfully handcrafted from opalescent, mouth-blown glass. While the Butler may tower over your other Toikkas, know that his obliging nature will earn him the highest respect of the rest of the flock and of all your guests.

The birds of Oiva Toikka's 2014 collection are individually mouth-blown by the master glassblowers at iittalas glassworks shop. Limited edition, each handcrafted iittala Toikka Butler is numbered "x/2000" and carries the signature O. Toikka on its base to ensure authenticity.
