Description
This glass dolphin figurine is caught mid-leap, its clear body clouded with soft swirls of smoky grey. The colour gathers through the body and thins to clear glass at the nose, fins and tail, so those edges glow when light passes through them. Tiny bubbles are held inside the glass too, adding a quiet sparkle as you walk past or turn it in your hand. It measures about 7.5cm tall, 12.6cm wide and 5.6cm deep, a size that sits happily on a narrow windowsill or a crowded bookshelf without taking it over.
We like it best where daylight can reach it. On a windowsill the grey swirls shift through the day, and on a shelf beside a lamp the clear fins pick up the glow in the evening. It suits a coastal or seaside scheme in a living room, a hallway console or a bedroom dresser, and it is just as at home on a bathroom shelf among shells and pebbles. On a desk it gives the eye somewhere calm to rest between tasks. Because it is small and needs no wall space, it is an easy gift for anyone who would enjoy a little piece of the sea on their shelf, and it sits well on its own or grouped with other glass pieces.
The figurine is made of glass, with the grey swirls running through the glass itself and the fins, nose and tail left clear. To keep it bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth, and for fingerprints wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it straight away to avoid water marks. As with any glass piece, set it on a steady surface back from the edge of a shelf. For the best effect, place it where light falls from behind, and let the clear tail and fins catch it.
