Description
This handpainted resin snow globe sets a winged dragon high on a rocky outcrop, its jaws open and its horns swept back, with a little tower and a pointed blue roof rising at its side. Below the dragon sits a clear globe, and inside it curls a smaller dragon among flecks of glitter. The scales are painted in metallic blue with purple shading, set against the grey of the rock base, so the colours catch the light from every side. It stands 21cm tall, 12.5cm wide and 10cm deep: tall enough to hold its own on a shelf, compact enough for a desk.
It sits well on a mantelpiece, a bookcase or a bedroom shelf, and the broad rock base lets it stand on any flat surface, with no wall or hook needed. We like it among books and other ornaments for a touch of fantasy in a living room or study, and its dark, rocky look makes it a fitting piece to bring out for Halloween, whether on your own shelves or given as a gift. The dragon faces out over the globe, so it looks its best placed where it can be seen from the front at eye level.
The figure is made from resin and painted by hand, so the shading on the scales and wings may vary slightly from piece to piece. The detail is fine, with ridged wing panels, clawed feet and a textured rock face, so it is best lifted by the base rather than by the wings or horns. To keep it looking fresh, dust it with a soft, dry cloth or brush, and keep it out of strong direct sunlight, which can fade painted finishes over time. It makes a thoughtful gift wrapped in tissue, or set it where the light falls across the globe so the glitter catches it.
