Description
This glass figurine captures a puffin in a moment of quiet curiosity, its bright orange beak tilted forward and its round black body standing upright on two small orange feet. The glass has a deep, glossy black finish, broken by speckled white patches on the face and chest that give the bird its familiar markings, while the beak glows with streaks of light and deep orange. A neat dark eye sits within the white face patch, with fine lines sweeping back from it, and a short clear glass tail finishes the figure at the back. It stands 11cm high, 11.5cm across and 7cm deep.
Being small and freestanding, it needs no fixing and settles easily wherever you want a touch of colour: a bookshelf, a mantelpiece, a bedside table or a desk at home or in the office. On a windowsill the orange beak and feet catch the daylight and glow, which makes it a cheerful companion all year round. It looks right in a coastal or seaside scheme alongside driftwood tones and soft blues, and it is just as at home in a monochrome room, where its black and white body suits the palette and the orange adds a single bright accent.
Made from glass, the puffin has a smooth, glossy surface and a rounded body that rests steadily on its feet and tail. To keep it bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth or wipe it with a damp one. As with any glass ornament, place it back from the edge of a shelf where it could be knocked, and keep it out of reach of small children, as it is a decorative piece rather than a toy. It makes a charming gift that is easy to wrap, and we think it looks happiest wherever it can catch a little sunlight each day.
