Seated Fox Glass Figurine with Speckled Chest - Orange

This seated glass figurine depicts a fox sitting up tall, its tail curled round the base and finished with a frothy white and black speckled tip. The body is a warm orange glass with a fine darker fleck, and a pale speckled chest runs down the front like a patch of winter fur. Small glossy black dots make the eyes and nose, and the pointed ears turn clearer at the tips, catching the light by a lamp or a window. It stands 17cm tall, 8.5cm wide and 8cm deep, a size that sits comfortably in one hand and fits easily on a narrow shelf.

We like it on a bookshelf, a desk or a mantelpiece, where its bright colour lifts a row of neutral books or a plain wall. On a windowsill the glossy orange glass shines in the daylight, and on a bedside table it adds a friendly face to the end of the day. Its rounded, upright outline suits a cosy, country-style room with natural wood and soft textiles, yet it sits just as happily among modern pieces as a single spot of warm colour. It is freestanding, so there is nothing to fix or hang: simply set it on a flat, level surface indoors.

The fox is made from glass with a smooth, glossy finish and sits on a flat base that keeps it steady. To care for it, dust with a soft dry cloth, or wipe with a slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away to keep the shine bright. Like any glass ornament, it is a decorative piece rather than a toy, so place it where it will not be knocked and out of reach of small hands. As a gift it is simple to wrap in tissue in a small box, and it brings a little woodland warmth to any shelf it calls home.
