Miniature Glass Reindeer Figurine with Candy Cane - Orange

This miniature glass reindeer figurine is a little orange stag with a striped candy cane hooked over one antler and a shiny red bauble hanging from the other. His body is warm orange glass, clear enough to let the light through, and scattered with white speckles like a fawn's coat, with a pale throat, round black eyes and a neat black nose. The candy cane is twisted in red, green and white, and together with the bauble it gives him a cheerful Christmas look. He stands 6.5cm tall, 6.8cm across and just 2.4cm deep, small enough to sit in the palm of your hand.

Because he is so small, he fits almost anywhere you want a touch of Christmas. Set him on a mantelpiece among greenery, on a bookshelf, or on a windowsill where daylight shines through the orange glass and shows off the speckles. He sits happily in a festive table setting or at the foot of a little winter scene of houses and trees. As a Christmas gift he is a lovely small present on his own, easy to tuck into a stocking or alongside a card, and a cheerful little piece to bring out with the decorations year after year.

He is made of glass and stands on his own four legs, each finished with a small rounded foot, so he needs no stand or hook. There is no hanging loop, which makes him a piece for a shelf rather than the tree. The antlers and candy cane are slender, so lift him by the body rather than the antlers. To keep the glass bright, dust him with a soft, dry cloth, or wipe gently with a damp cloth and dry him straight away. For a cosy winter windowsill, we like him beside a sprig of holly and a string of warm fairy lights, where the glow brings out the orange.
