Description
This hand painted resin figurine catches Dumbo, the much-loved baby elephant, splashing about in a bubble bath. He sits up to his shoulders in the water with his famous oversized ears draped over the rim on either side, his trunk raised high to hold a single bubble aloft and a happy, open-mouthed smile on his face. His soft light grey colouring sits against a beige wooden-look tub with a grey band around its middle, while pale blue bubbles foam over the sides and gather in a puddle that forms the base. It stands 9.6cm tall, 9cm wide and 9.2cm deep, so this little figurine fits comfortably on even a narrow shelf.
We think it belongs in a nursery or a child's bedroom, set on a shelf, a windowsill or a chest of drawers where little eyes can see it but small hands cannot reach. It suits babies and toddlers up to three and children up to twelve, and makes a thoughtful gift for a little one, a keepsake to stay with them as they grow. It is an ornament to look at rather than a toy to play with, so a high spot suits it best.
The figurine is made from resin, sometimes called polystone, and painted by hand, which brings out the fine details: the lines of the wooden-look staves, the blue of his eyes, the soft pink inside his mouth and ears, and the gentle sheen on every bubble. Its flat, scalloped base lets it stand steadily on its own, with no stand or fixing needed. To care for it, dust it with a soft dry cloth or wipe it gently with a slightly damp cloth, then let it dry. Pair it with a favourite picture book or a framed family photograph for a gift with real warmth, and it will bring a little bath-time cheer to any room.

Frequently Asked
How big is the Dumbo figurine?
It stands 9.6cm tall, 9cm wide and 9.2cm deep. That makes it a small piece that sits neatly on a shelf, windowsill or bedside table.
What is the figurine made from?
It is made from resin, also known as polystone. It is painted by hand in soft light grey, with a beige tub and pale blue bubbles.
Can a child play with this figurine?
No. It is a decorative keepsake for display rather than a toy, so we suggest placing it on a high shelf out of reach of small hands.
Does it need a stand or fixing?
No. The flat base lets it stand steadily on its own on any level surface, so there is nothing to fix or hang.
How should I clean it?
Dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it gently with a slightly damp cloth and let it dry. That is good general practice for painted resin.
Who would it suit as a gift?
It makes a thoughtful keepsake for a baby, a toddler or a child up to twelve, and it would sit happily in a nursery or a child's bedroom.
