Oiva Toikka designed Kastehelmi Dewdrop dinnerplate by iittala

Oiva Toikka, known for his BIRDS BY TOIKKA series, is a man who at age 79 is still on a continuous voyage of discovery. He is undoubtedly the creator of some of the most important, innovative and challenging works in glass to have been made since the 1960s. It was in 1964 that Toikka designed a range of utility glass tableware, named KASTEHELMI/DEWDROP.

This series proved to be a great commercial success from 1964 to 1988. Just recently, it has been re-introduced in the US to great acclaim. The reissue is available in clear and apple green plates and bowls with a rich pattern of dense bubbles arranged in concentric circles of irregular thickness. This truly unique series is available on Didrik’s website, and also in the store.
Together with the BIRDS BY TOIKKA, DEWDROP will allow you to truly appreciate why Oiva Toikka is considered one of the most distinguished and prolific Finnish glass artist-designers of this century.
