Jumping Whale Duo Glass Figurine with Clear Base - Black

This glass figurine captures two whales leaping together from a single wave, one riding high above the other as if they have just broken the surface. Both whales are black along their backs, with white bellies and a white patch behind each eye, while their fins, tails and the wave beneath them are left in clear glass. The base rises in soft, rippled columns like water thrown up by the jump, so the pair seem to hang in mid air. It stands 19cm tall, 9cm wide and 10.5cm deep, a size that sits on a shelf without crowding it, yet has enough height to draw the eye across a room.

We think it suits a living room shelf, a mantelpiece or a sideboard, where the black and white markings stand out against plain walls. On a windowsill or near a lamp, light passes through the clear fins and wave and picks out the ripples of the base. It works as well on a study desk, a bedroom chest of drawers or a hallway table, and its monochrome colouring sits happily with modern and traditional schemes alike. As a gift it needs no explaining: two whales leaping together is a cheerful picture, and it suits a home with a seaside feel.

The figurine is made from glass, with both whales joined to the clear wave so the piece stands freely on its broad, rippled foot; set it on a flat, steady surface and it is ready. To keep it bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth and occasionally wipe it with a damp cloth, drying it afterwards so the clear glass stays free of marks. Lift it by the base rather than the fins or tails. For a coastal shelf, pair it with pale driftwood, white pottery or a few shells; as a gift, wrap it well and let the whales surprise when the paper comes away.
