Cockerel Glass Figurine with Red Comb and Wattle - Orange

This glass cockerel figurine brings a bright, cheerful note to a shelf or windowsill, with its tall red comb and wattle crowning a rounded body of clear glass. A warm amber orange swirl runs through the body and along the back, streaked with darker brown, while the chest is clouded with fine white speckles and the lower body is dotted with small brown flecks. A swept-back tail of clear glass and a small dark eye finish the bird. It stands 11.5cm tall, 10cm across and 5.5cm deep, a compact size that sits happily among books, plants or other small pieces.

As a freestanding figurine it needs no hook, nail or fixing, so you can move it wherever it looks best. We like it on a kitchen windowsill, where daylight passes through the clear glass and lifts the orange and red, but it is just as much at home on a dresser, a mantelpiece or a bookshelf in a living room or hallway. Its small footprint suits a desk or a bedside table too, and it adds a farmhouse touch to a country-style kitchen without crowding the worktop. It also sits well as the finishing piece in a small group of ornaments.

The figurine is made of glass, with its colours set within the clear body, so the orange swirl, white speckles and red comb catch the light from every side. To keep it bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it straight away. As with any glass ornament, it is best placed back from the edge of a busy shelf and handled gently. Wrap it on its own as a cheerful gift, or set it beside a jug of fresh flowers or a stack of cookery books for a sunny kitchen corner.
