Rainbow Swirl Long Tailed Parrot Miniature Glass Figurine

This miniature glass figurine is a cheerful little parrot, made entirely of glass and full of colour from beak to tail. The head is a fresh yellow green with a bright blue crown and a round white eye, finished with a curved red beak. Its body swirls with bands of red, orange, yellow, blue and green, like a rainbow folded into feathers, and a long blue tail sweeps out behind. It stands on two clear glass feet, so it sits upright on any flat surface with nothing to hang or fix. It is small and neat, measuring 6cm tall, 11.5cm wide and 4cm deep, a size that fits a narrow windowsill or a crowded shelf.

Because it is so small, this parrot figurine is happiest where it can be seen up close. A sunny windowsill suits it well, since glass catches the daylight and the colours glow when the sun comes through. It brings a bright spot to a bookshelf in the living room, a dressing table in the bedroom or a desk where a little colour lifts the day. Set it among houseplants, beside a small vase or alongside other glass ornaments, and it holds its own without taking over. It suits any home that enjoys bright, playful decoration with a touch of the tropics.

The figurine is glass throughout, from the swirled body to the clear feet, so treat it as you would any small glass ornament. Dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it gently with a damp cloth and dry it straight away. The long tail and slender legs are the finest parts, so lift it by the body and keep it back from the edge of a shelf where it might be knocked. As a gift it is easy to wrap and needs no fixing at all, a small burst of colour for someone's favourite corner.
