This innovative set is the result of fault in the production process, proving that great discovies really can come out of accidents. Workers noticed that specks of dirt in the mold were leaving a tracery-like pattern on the white glass. Toikka, seeing the potential in this defect, decided to incorporate it into his glass designs. The distinctive texture of the Raquel collection is achieved by putting specks of dirt into a spiked mold, which then spread across the glass when it is removed from the mold. Stunning and beautiful, this unique set would make a great addition to any Toikka collection.
