An exceptional example of Toikka’s iconic bird series and a fine addition to any collection of Finnish glass.
Inspired by the majestic western capercaillie—the largest living species of grouse—this bird pays homage to a creature long associated with the deep forests of Europe and the Palearctic. Known for its impressive size and elaborate courtship display, the capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus) has earned many names, including wood grouse and cock-of-the-woods. Toikka’s interpretation captures the commanding presence and rich woodland tones of this remarkable bird, blending natural inspiration with his signature artistry in glass.
