Crab Miniature Glass Figurine with Amber Tipped Legs - Red

This little glass crab figurine brings a bright splash of seaside colour to any shelf. Its rounded body is a rich, glossy red with a softly raised diamond on its back, and two white eyes with black centres give it a cheerful, friendly face. Four slender legs fan out on each side, glowing red at the body and shading to amber at the tips, while two curled claws reach forward as though it has just scuttled across the sand. It is a true miniature, standing 3cm high, 7cm across and 5cm deep.

Because it is so small, our crab is easy to place almost anywhere in the home. Set it on a mantelpiece, tuck it between books on a bookcase or add it to a display cabinet of little treasures, and it brings a happy flash of red. On a sunny windowsill the glass catches the light, and the translucent legs seem to glow. It sits well alongside seaside and coastal decor in a living room, hallway or bathroom. As a gift it makes a lovely small surprise with a seaside feel, and it is just the right size to slip into a parcel alongside something else.

The figurine is made of glass with a smooth, glossy finish that gives the red body and amber-tipped legs real depth. It rests on its own legs on any flat surface, so it needs no stand. Because the legs and claws are fine and delicate, handle it gently and place it where it will not be knocked or brushed off a ledge. To keep it bright, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth. It is a decorative ornament rather than a toy, so it is best kept out of reach of small hands. Pair it with a few shells or pebbles on a shelf, or wrap it in tissue as a cheerful little gift.
