Description
This glass snake figurine sits in a tight coil with its head raised high, as if it has just looked up to see who has come into the room. The glass is a smoky grey, streaked through with white and dark swirls that run along the body, so the light picks out a different pattern from every side. Two small dark eyes sit on the head, and the tip of the tail curls up from the coil in clearer glass, which catches the light more brightly than the rest. It stands 16.5cm tall, 12.5cm wide and 11cm deep, a good size for a shelf or a desk without crowding it.
We think it suits a bookcase, a mantelpiece or a windowsill, where daylight can pass through the streaked glass and show off its swirls. It works well on a study desk or a bedside table too, and the grey shade sits easily beside wood, white paint or darker walls. Because the coil forms a broad, rounded base, the figurine stands on its own on any flat, level surface, with no stand or fixings needed. Grouped with other glass pieces or set alone, it gives a plain shelf a little character and plenty of curve.
The figurine is made from glass with a smooth, glossy finish that gives the grey swirls real depth. Being glass, it is best set back from the edge of a busy shelf and lifted with both hands when you move it. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it with a slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away to avoid water marks. Whether you keep it for yourself or give it as a gift, all it asks for is a clear spot where the light can reach it.
