Tiiri was in production 2011-2013. The bird is designed by famous professor Oiva Toikka and hand made in Nuutajärvi Finland. These festively decorated birds are not very often seen for sale.
The bird is purple/brown with glimmering decorations around the neck and over the body. The spots and bands contain golden-copper glimmering granules. Tiiri has a clear head and a split tail.
Tiiri has very similar colors and spots as the UK Golden Tern from 2009-2011, but these birds have different kind of tails, and Tiiri is slightly larger.
You find Tiiri in the new book "Toikan Lasilinnut - Toikka's Glassbirds" on page 167. That book is for sale elsewhere on this site.
