A beautiful and playful glass sculpture designed by Oiva Toikka for Nuutajärvi, Finland.
The Kriikuna (Damson) was designed in 1988 and produced between 1989 and 1992. Part of Toikka's imaginative exploration of nature, this charming piece captures the organic form of a fruit through its softly rounded silhouette and elegantly curved stem.
Crafted from mouth-blown glass and finished with an acid-frosted surface, the sculpture has a smooth, velvety matte appearance that beautifully complements its yellow colour.
With its sculptural shape and minimalist expression, Kriikuna is a delightful example of Toikka's distinctive design language, combining Finnish glassmaking craftsmanship with his characteristic sense of playfulness.
A wonderful collectible for admirers of Oiva Toikka and Finnish art glass.
