Description
This shaggy Highland cow figurine is made from orange glass, shaped with a thick fringe falling over its brow, a pair of glossy black horns and a deep brown face with round, white-rimmed eyes. Its coat is worked in swirls, ripples and drips that catch the light, so the glass moves between lighter and deeper shades of orange as you pass by. It sits low and rounded, as though settled in a field for the afternoon, and measures 7cm high, 9.5cm wide and 8cm deep, small enough to rest in the palm of your hand.
We like it best on a windowsill, where daylight passes through the glass and brings out its warm glow, but it is just as happy on a mantelpiece, a bookcase shelf or the corner of a desk. At just 9.5cm wide it fits in among books, plants and candles without crowding them, and it adds a touch of countryside charm to a kitchen dresser, a hallway console or a study. A Highland cow has a way of making people smile, with that long fringe and those curving horns, so this little figure suits a home with a rustic, farmhouse or Scottish feel as well as a bright modern room that needs something characterful.
Made entirely of glass, the figurine rests on its own flat underside, so it needs no stand or fixing and can be moved from room to room whenever you fancy a change. Keep it on a level surface, back from the edge of a shelf, as you would any glass ornament. To care for it, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it gently with a damp cloth and dry it straight away to keep the glass clear and bright. Wrapped in tissue paper, it makes a cheerful little gift, and it brings a smile to any windowsill it sits on.
