Description
This penguin figurine has the look of polished stone, with a high gloss over a speckled white front. It is made from resin, also known as polyresin, which holds a smooth, rounded form and fine detail. The back, head and flippers are a deep glossy black with a mottled blue tint across the shoulders, and warm orange patches sit at the cheeks and the top of the chest. The head is tipped gently down, with the beak resting towards the chest, giving the bird a calm and thoughtful pose. It stands 20cm tall, 11cm wide and 9.5cm deep, and its small black feet peep out at the base.
At 20cm tall, it sits comfortably on a mantelpiece, a bookshelf or a deep windowsill, and it is compact enough for a desk or bedside table without crowding it. The pale front catches the light, while the dark back keeps its outline crisp against a white or grey wall. It works well in a coastal scheme, a cool Scandinavian room or on a hallway console, and a few other ornaments grouped around it make a pleasing little scene. Set it where it can be seen from the side as well as the front, so the sweep of blue-black down its back can be seen.
The resin is finished in a high gloss, so the colours look rich and the surface feels smooth in the hand. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth, and wipe away any marks with a lightly damp cloth before drying it straight away. Harsh cleaners can dull a gloss surface, so plain water is all it needs. It also makes an easy, cheerful gift: a penguin with this much character needs little more than some tissue paper and a card.
