Miniature Lion Glass Figurine with Black Tail Tip - Orange

This miniature glass lion figurine stands on four legs with its head turned to face you, and a long tail sweeps out behind it in a curve to finish in a neat black tip. The body is orange glass with a mottled, speckled pattern swirling through it, richer and deeper along the back, while the legs and tail are a paler, clearer golden orange that glows when light passes through. Small black eyes and a black nose give the face its friendly expression, and a ridged mane frames the cheeks between two rounded ears. It is a true miniature, 4cm high, 8cm wide and 2.5cm deep.

Its small size means it will sit happily almost anywhere: on a bookshelf between paperbacks, on a desk beside the monitor, on a bedside table or along a mantelpiece. A sunny windowsill suits it best of all, where daylight shines through the orange and golden glass and brings the colours to life. It also looks at home in a glass-fronted display cabinet or grouped with other small glass ornaments you already treasure, and it adds a little warmth to a bathroom shelf or a hallway console without taking up room. As a present it is small, cheerful and easy to wrap, and it slips into a gift bag with room to spare.

The figurine is made of glass and stands freely on its four feet, so it needs no stand, hook or fixing. Set it on a flat, steady surface away from the edge, and handle it gently, as you would any small glass piece. For everyday care, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it with a slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away. We like it set where the morning sun catches its golden legs, or tucked beside a favourite photo frame as a small, cheerful companion.
