Anyway, they are popular collectibles. Even Iittala Kivi colors are not always easy to separate from each other, you can be sure that these Kivi colors are those that are mentioned. That is because I compare every Kivi with my own collection's colors.

There are forty-seven assorted colors published until October 2021, & they are not always easy to identify from each other. in addition, there is one more problem: vlivri (in Finnish) meaning colors in between or mixed colors. They are not official colors. Vlivri Kivi votives are made, when they change the glass mass from one color to another during the
