A Little Scaup Duck Bird with a most beautiful iridescent luster scattering light in a multitude of colors.
The Scaup Ducks were designed for Digital Equipment in the 80's by Professor Oiva Toikka, at Nuutajärvi. These commissioned birds were not for sale in normal shops. However some surplus individulas or individulas with deviating features may at some point have been sold at the factory shop unsigned.
There are four variants of the Scaup Ducks. The last three pictures show all the Digital Scaup Duck types, and in the new book "Toikan Linnut - Toikka's Glass Birds" you find information on these on page 44.
This Scaup Duck for Digital called 'Little Scaup Duck' - 'Pikkusotka' measures 150 x 70 mm, is equipped with a beautiful luster and a beige-green marbled breast. The breast patch continues in this individual ventrally along a thin offshoot. This is most probably the reason why this bird once upon a time was sold unsigned through the factory shop at Nuutajärvi. The bird is in a very good condition without any disturbing wear.
