Here is an example of Oiva Toikka's Lollipop candlestick no. 477 from 1968/69 fully signed
28cm tall and 12.5cm at the widest.
Toikka passed away in 2019 but his legacy lives on with his birds collection introduced in 1972 - he created so many designs there will many new birds produced for a few years to come. His pressed Kastehelmi range has remained in production since it's launch in 1964.
Totally Special !!!!!
very nice!
Wow.
This is fantastic!
Thanks for the love. Yes it is very special, I never imagined I would ever find one let alone own one.
this is 1968 , Birmingham university will help you to assess this, if Jack ( Dawson ) is still there , i am not allowed to talk value here, but the value is beyond imagination
congrats
direct quote from guidelines:
"an item’s value can certainly be a part of the conversation..."
well kisslikeete is a very good expert , who knows the value , and nowadays the price has exploded, exponentially (understatement) , since toikka died, i don,t want trouble about the rules and people could write me
Thanks apostata. Yes Toikka pieces have seen a steep rise, a 1987 37cm Lollipop hammered recently for in excess of €6000. I don't have any recent data for one of these though.
well that,s a rather conservative auction , couverts selling ( client selling ) for an 15 inch is between 6800 -8200 euro all down the line at a major auction house, so this won,t do much haha maybe 4500 euro all down the line in a mojor auction house
addendum funny story, i was in Rovaniemi like 50 years ago and i could buy Napapiiri,birds the prices than 31euro , i said i don,t buy this stuff , did you iron the birds into a flat head, and a few weeks ago they were sold for 425 euro
