Cockerel Glass Figurine with Swirl Pattern - Red

This glass figurine of a cockerel brings a bright, cheerful bird to a shelf or mantelpiece. He sits round and plump, with a tall red comb, a deep red wattle and a small dark eye, while his body is wound with swirling ribbons of red, green and white glass and a band of gold glitter that catches the light as you pass. A clear glass tail sweeps up behind him, so light shows through it, and a dark patch marks his side like a folded wing. Red is the colour that leads, and the gold and green keep it warm rather than loud. He stands 13cm high, 11.5cm across and 7cm deep, a size that sits comfortably on a narrow shelf without crowding it.

We like him on a kitchen dresser or a sunny windowsill, where daylight plays through the clear tail and lifts the gold glitter, and he is just as much at home on a bookcase, a side table or a hall console. He stands on his own rounded base on any flat, level surface, so there is nothing to hang or fix and he can move from room to room as the mood takes you. A cockerel has long been a favourite on a country-style dresser, and this one adds a welcome note of colour to a plain room or sits happily alongside other bird and farmyard ornaments you own.

Being glass from comb to tail, he asks for a gentle hand. Dust him with a soft dry cloth, or wipe him with a damp cloth and dry him straight away, and keep him back from the edge of a busy shelf. The coloured glass looks its best with daylight beside or behind it, so a spot near a window suits him well. He makes a cheerful gift for anyone who likes a splash of colour around the home.
