This vintage White Sandpiper was produced for Nuutajärvi's 200th Anniversary in year 1993. A slim bird with well formed white filigree pattern and matte surface. A really sharp picture of this gracile bird may invite you to stop and hold your breath for a few seconds.
This individual is numbered 116/750. It is otherwise in very good condition but it has a nick on the tail that is not so easily noticed if not looking for it. We are offering this bird for half price because of this imperfection. The bird is signed and has the original Nuutajärvi sticker on the left side.
This model is described on page 75 in the new book "Toikan Lasilinnut-Toikka's Glass Birds".
Several long profiled birds were produced in years 1993-1994. In the last picture you can compare the profile of our early brown Pekkasiini with this bird's profile.
