Oiva Toikka bird mark-what does it say - ID = O. Toikka Napapiiri

<< < (2/2)

FrankieCat17:
So, a very helpful collector messaged me through the online auction site where I have this bird listed and told me what it says. I really appreciate that this collector was willing to help me. I was way off on my interpretation of the mark.

This is signed O. Toikka Napapiiri. This bird I have since found out is a limited edition I believe from 1986. Napapiiri stands for Arctic Circle. I believe it is/ was issued for one year only available through a Santa Claus Village offer. The bird is a Siberian Jay and I think the name is Kuukkeli.

Anyways, thanks...

How interesting, and thanks very much for reporting back here with this new information. :)
The head is a slightly different shape to most birds I have seen, and the writing was very hard to make out from the pics - it was too easy to see a different word from the clues.

Anne:
Hello FrankieCat17 and welcome to the board.  You have linked to your images held elsewhere, but these may disappear in time, so may we add copies of them onto the board itself so they stay here as a help to others seeking answers to similar questions?

FrankieCat17:
Hello, yes Anne you may add these to the board. These are my photos I personally took of this glass bird and I give my permission. Hope this helps someone in the future.

I am a total novice on glass. I am thrilled to find this site as it has a huge amount of information. I will be returning often just to learn!

Anne:
Hi FrankieCat17, thank you for allowing us to keep your images here, they will be useful I am sure. We have a wealth of information on the board and on our associated GlassGallery which is where we host ongoing collections and research projects http://www.yobunny.org.uk/glassgallery/. If you get stuck using the board please feel free to ask for help - there are lots of handy hints and tips in the Help forum too but in case you can't find the answer there you can always email me to ask for help if you need it.
