Leaping Dolphins Miniature Glass Figurine - Blue & Clear

This little glass figurine shows two dolphins leaping side by side, their noses almost touching as they arc up from a swirl of waves. The dolphins are bright blue glass with turquoise fins and pale bellies, each with a small dark eye, and they rise on clear glass stems from a round base holding a pool of deep blue at its centre. Three clear curling waves tipped with dark blue sweep up around them. It stands 7cm tall, 6.5cm wide and 4cm deep, a true miniature that sits easily in the palm of your hand.

Its small size suits the places where a larger ornament would crowd things: a bookshelf, a bedside table, the corner of a desk or a display cabinet beside other glass pieces. Set it where daylight or a lamp can reach it and the blue glass glows, while the clear stems and base let the light pass through, so the dolphins seem to float above the water. It brings a cheerful seaside note to a room without taking over, and it is a small, easy pleasure to look at if the sea is close to your heart.

The figurine is made of glass throughout, the blue dolphins rising on clear stems from a clear base, and its flat round foot lets it stand steadily on any level surface with no stand or fixing. Glass this fine is delicate, so handle it gently and keep it back from the edge of a busy shelf. To keep it bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it carefully with a slightly damp cloth and let it dry. We think it looks best given a little space of its own, perhaps on a short stack of books or in front of a mirror, and it makes a charming small gift that is easy to wrap.
