Editorial Reviews:

Amazon.com Review
Celebrated Finnish artist Oiva Toikka designed the first of dozens of his imaginative glass birds more than 30 years ago. Colorful and captivating, each bird is individually handcrafted by a team of glassbowers in iittala's Nuutaj�rvi glassworks, so that no two are exactly alike. This recent addition, Pale Male, is unique because it honors an actual red-tailed hawk that has nested on a building near Central Park in New York City for many years, becoming a beloved city icon. Toikka artistically renders the bird's unusual light-colored plumage, red tail, and dark beak in nearly life-size proportions: the glass replica measures approximately 14 inches long and 8 inches tall.

In generous support of the real Pale Male, his mate Lola, and the now 30 other pairs of nesting red-tailed hawks in the city, iittala will donate proceeds of 2007 sales of Pale Male glass birds to the New York City Audubon Society. Only 1,000 of this limited edition glass bird will be made available in the US. Each comes with a collector's tag, is etched underneath with "O. Toikka Nuutaj�rvi" as proof of authenticity, and is wrapped in iittala tissue paper in a handsome gift box. Birders, art lovers, and collectors alike are sure to find a cherished perch for this spectacular glass raptor. --Ann Bieri
