Description
This miniature glass pig figurine is a round, cheerful little piggy in translucent pink glass, small enough to rest in the palm of your hand. It stands about 4cm high, 5cm wide and 3cm deep, so it fits on the narrowest of shelves. The charm is all in the details: two pointed ears that tip forward, two small black eyes, a raised snout, four short stubby feet and a curly tail that twists up at the back. Because the glass is see-through rather than opaque, light passes through the body and gives the pink a soft, rosy glow.
We like it best on a windowsill, where the daylight catches the glass and makes it shine. It is just as happy on a bookshelf, a desk, a dressing table or a mantelpiece, and it is small enough to tuck between books, frames or a few houseplants without crowding them. If you already keep a cabinet of little glass animals, this pig settles in neatly among them, and with no need for a wall or a stand it can move from room to room whenever you fancy a change. It also makes a sweet small gift on its own, or a little extra to slip in beside a larger present.
The figurine is made from glass with a smooth, glossy finish, and its four feet give it a steady base on any flat surface, so it stands by itself. Like any small glass piece, it is best handled gently and placed back from the edge of a shelf. To keep it bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it straight away to avoid water marks. For a pretty display, set it on a sunny sill beside other pink or clear glass pieces, or wrap it in tissue as a small surprise that brings a smile.
