Professor Oiva ToikkaÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s Kastehelmi, Finnish for Ã¢â‚¬Å“dewdrop,Ã¢â‚¬ï¿½ evolved from a technical challenge when Toikka started using glass droplets to cover joint marks left on the surface of pressed glass pieces. The result was a popular range of glassware decorated with beads of glass that glisten like dewdrops in the morning sun.
