This is a hand-blown art glass bottle from Oiva Toikka’s Pro Arte 'Mansikkapaikka' series for Nuutajärvi, produced between 1984 and 1987. This piece features an organic shape shimmering in softly speckled deep green and warm amber neck.
The 'Pro Arte' series was Toikka’s platform for more experimental, artistic glasswork — beyond his well-known Birds. Each bottle in the 'Mansikkapaikka' line varies slightly in color, size, and form, making every piece a unique expression of Toikka’s creative vision.
We love this little artefact — part design object, part treasure from a hidden strawberry patch. Place it where the light can catch its layered, juicy hues. Signed on the base, this is a collector’s item with quiet presence and unmistakable Finnish craftsmanship.

NOTE ON THE ARTIST - Oiva Toikka (1931–2019) was one of Finland’s most renowned glass artists, known for his playful, imaginative approach to glass design. While his birds brought him international fame, his 'Pro Arte' works showcase a more experimental side — blurring the line between functional object and freeform sculpture. Toikka’s legacy continues to inspire with its bold creativity and celebration of craftsmanship.
