The Firebird is part of the cute Birds of Passage collection, which constitutes of a series of twelve very different small sized birds that was designed by famous professor Oiva Toikka for mail order delivery in the early 90's.
This bird is hand made in the legendary glass village in Nuutajärvi, Finland.
You find the Firebird on page 33 in the "Birds by Toikka" book, and in "In Oiva's Wonderland" on page 76.
On a somewhat blotchy Christmas-red body there are distinct dark spots in brown-black blue-grey or dark green and the head is olive green and marbled. There exist a huge variation within the Firebird species. Last you see a picture with five different Firebirds, each one different from the other either in head color or the tone of the red, or both. Enjoy. (this little bird is positioned as the second one counting from the right).
