This blue and white Annual Bird of 2017 is the Kiuru bird also called Lark in English. 2017 is the year when Finland celebrated its 100 years of Indepenency. Thus it was very appropriate with a blue and white Annual bird that year.
The design is by Oiva Toikka, and the design is somewhat similar to the beige and white Raquel, the Annual bird of year 2009.
Kiuru is hand made at Iittala glass factory in Finland.
Kiuru is illustrated on page 190 in the book "Toikan Lasilinnut-Toikka's Glass Birds".
