Description
This glass dolphin figurine captures a dolphin mid-leap, its body arched in one smooth curve from nose to tail. The body is a deep cobalt blue, flecked and streaked within the glass so it looks a little like sunlight through seawater, while the dorsal fin, the two side fins and the tail are clear. A fine dark line runs along each side of the body, following the curve and giving the dolphin its shape. It measures 12cm high, 23cm wide and 8cm deep, a size that holds its own on a shelf without crowding it.
We think it suits any room where a touch of the coast feels right. Set it on a windowsill and daylight passes through the clear fins and lifts the blue to its richest, or give it a place on a living room bookcase, a mantelpiece, a bedside table or a bathroom shelf alongside shells and driftwood. It sits happily on its own as a single bright note in a neutral room, and it works just as well grouped with other coloured glass or seaside pieces. If you love the sea, dolphins or the glow of blue glass, it is an easy piece to choose.
The figurine is made of glass, and the clear edges of the body let the blue glow from within while the clear fins and tail catch the light. Care is simple: dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it straight away to keep the surface free of marks. As with any glass ornament, give it a spot where it will not be knocked, back from the edge of a busy shelf. It makes a thoughtful gift, and it is just as welcome on your own windowsill.
