Miniature Cockerel Glass Figurine with Patterned Plumage

This miniature glass figurine takes the shape of a proud cockerel, standing tall on slender amber legs with its tail feathers swept back behind it. The body is worked in deep dark blue glass, covered in a rippling feather pattern of light blue, lime green and orange that catches the light from every angle. A bright red comb and wattle crown the head, set off by a sunny yellow beak and a small dark eye. It is a little piece, 7cm high, 9cm wide and 3.5cm deep, so it sits comfortably in the palm of your hand while still carrying plenty of colour and character.

Because it is so compact, this cockerel figurine settles happily on a kitchen windowsill, a dresser shelf or a bookcase, where the glass can pick up the daylight. It brings a cheerful note of farmhouse charm to a country kitchen, and its bold mix of colours works just as well on a modern mantelpiece or a desk. Set it among other small ornaments in a glass cabinet, or let it stand alone on a bedside table where its colours can be seen up close. At 7cm high it fits the narrow spaces that larger ornaments cannot, such as the end of a row of books.

The cockerel stands on its own feet, so it needs no stand or fixing: simply set it on a level surface where it will not be knocked. Glass is delicate, so we suggest handling it gently and keeping it away from the edge of a busy shelf. To keep the colours bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth or a soft brush, and wipe it with a slightly damp cloth when needed, drying it straight away. As a small gift it is easy to wrap and cheerful to unwrap, and on your own shelf it adds a bright splash of colour every morning.
