A most entchanting early Long-Tailed Duck, round with very neat regular white and green stripes. It is signed with the long phrase: Oiva Toikka Nuutajärvi Notsjö, that was common in the eighties.
Long-Tailed Ducks were in production for a quite long period: 1981-2009. Over the years there was quite a large variation both in shape and colors and the signature changed from the early long version to the shorter ones.
Long-Tailed Duck is described in the new book "Toikan Lasilinnut - Toikka's Glassbirds" on page 20.
On the last photos we see this bird with a round type Willow Grouse of ours with whom it pairs quite well. You will also find other Long-Tailed Ducks of ours elsewhere on this site by using the search function on the first page.
Size: 165mm x 120mm
Condition: Excellent
Signature: Oiva Toikka Nuutajärvi Notsjö
