Description
This glass snow globe holds a blue dragon, curled at rest with its wings raised, on a dark brown base shaped like rope-bound timber and set with skulls and bones. The dragon has an iridescent finish that shifts from blue to teal, with touches of purple along its wings and gold on the tips of its horns and spines, and the round globe around it is clear, shiny glass. Give it a turn and pink, green and silver glitter drifts down over the scales. It stands 10cm high and measures 8cm across and 8cm deep, a size that sits comfortably in one hand.
Because it is small and freestanding, it finds a home almost anywhere: a bookshelf, a desk, a bedside table or the end of a mantelpiece. The dark base gives it a gothic, slightly spooky edge, with skulls set into the front, bones lashed across the timbers and stones gathered around the foot, so it suits a room with a fantasy feel as much as a shelf of dragons, wizards and curiosities. All it needs is a flat surface where the light can catch the glitter and the shifting colours of the dragon's scales.
The globe is glass, so it deserves a little care: hold it by the base when you give it a shake, and set it down on a steady surface away from the edge of a shelf. A soft dry cloth keeps the glass bright and lifts dust from the detail of the base. As a gift, it is an easy one to get right for anyone fond of dragons and fantasy, small enough to wrap neatly and full of detail to look at once it is unwrapped. We like it grouped with a few books and a candle on a shelf, where the iridescent dragon gives a dark corner a glimmer of colour.
