The Summer Grouse was introduced 2006. The design is by professor Oiva Toikka. This bird was mouth blown in the famous glass factory at Nuutajärvi, in Finland.
In the presentation booklet for the Toikka Collection of year 2006 the Summer Grouse was presented with the words "A new suit for summer". This bird stayed in production for many years, and these were later also produced at Iittala glass factory.
The last two photos show this bird together with a most charming individual of the Sleeping Summer Grouse designed for Finn Fest in 2005.
Size: 180mm x 115mm
Condition: Very Good

The signature is rather difficult to read on the turtoise-shell-like surface of these birds.
