Description
This miniature glass figurine captures a giraffe mid-stride, its long neck held high. The glass is a warm amber yellow through the legs, neck and head, while the body is filled with a speckled brown pattern that echoes a giraffe's coat. Black detail picks out the tips of the two horns, the eyes and the tuft at the end of the tail, and a ridged mane runs down the back of the neck. It stands 8cm high, 6cm deep and just 2cm wide, so it is genuinely small: a piece to enjoy up close rather than from across the room.
Because the glass lets light through, it comes alive wherever daylight can reach it. We like it on a windowsill, a narrow shelf or the front of a glass cabinet, where the amber legs glow and the speckled body shows its depth. Its small footprint means it fits on a crowded bookshelf or a bedside table without fuss, and it sits happily among books, plants or other small ornaments. It also makes a charming little gift, easy to wrap and easy to find a home for.
The figurine is made entirely of glass and stands freely on its four slender legs, with no base or stand needed. Those legs are fine, so place it on a flat, level surface where it will not be knocked, and pick it up by the body rather than the neck. To keep the glass bright, dust it gently with a soft dry cloth or a soft brush, which reaches between the legs and around the horns; a barely damp cloth will lift fingerprints. Set it at eye level in a well lit spot and let the colour do the rest, or wrap it in a little tissue as a small present for someone who enjoys a shelf of tiny treasures.
