Crab Glass Figurine with Large Claws - Blue

This glass crab figurine brings a cheerful splash of the seaside indoors, with two big claws reaching forward and slender legs fanned out on either side. The limbs are a clear, bright cobalt blue that lets the light through, while the rounded body is a deeper navy with a fine gold fleck and soft swirls running through the glass. Small raised eyes sit at the front of the shell, and each claw ends in a neat pincer. It measures 12cm across, 11.5cm deep and just 5cm tall, so it sits low and wide like a real crab on the sand.

Because the glass is translucent, the crab looks its best where daylight can reach it: a windowsill, a sunny shelf or the end of a desk near the window, where the blue glows and the gold fleck catches the light. It suits a coastal or nautical scheme, sitting happily among shells, driftwood and seaside prints, and it is just as much at home on a bookcase in a living room, a bedside table or a hallway console. At 5cm tall it tucks onto a narrow shelf without crowding it, and its spread of legs gives it enough presence to hold its own on a larger surface.

The crab is made of glass with a smooth, glossy finish and rounded tips to every leg and claw. Like any glass ornament with fine legs and claws, it is best lifted by the body rather than by a limb. To keep it bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it gently with a damp cloth and dry it straight away to avoid water marks. We think it makes a lovely gift for a home by the sea or a room that needs a little colour, and it wraps up easily in tissue paper.
