Miniature Glass Whale Figurine with White Belly - Black

This miniature glass whale figurine brings a small, glossy piece of ocean life indoors. The whale is shaped in black glass, with a curved dorsal fin rising from its back, two pectoral fins sweeping down at its sides and a broad, forked tail lifted behind. A white patch sits by each eye and a white belly runs along its underside, edged in black, so the markings read clearly from every angle. It is a true miniature, about 4cm high, 7cm across and 3.5cm deep, small enough to rest in the palm of your hand.

Because it is so small, it fits where larger ornaments will not: a gap on a bookshelf, the corner of a desk, a bedside table or a windowsill where daylight plays across the glossy glass. The black glass and crisp white markings sit happily in a coastal or nautical scheme, and look just as at home among plain, modern pieces. Set it on its own as a small point of interest, or group it with shells and pebbles on a shelf or tray for a little seaside scene. It suits a study or home office too, where a calm, quiet object on the desk is welcome company through the working day.

The figurine is made from glass with a smooth, high gloss finish, and it has no hanging fitting, so it simply sits on a flat surface. To keep it bright, dust it gently with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it straight away. Handle it with the care any small glass piece deserves, and as it is an ornament rather than a plaything, keep it on a shelf out of reach of little hands. It makes a thoughtful small gift, and a charming way to mark someone's love of the sea.
