Description
This speckled mushroom figurine is made from shiny glass. Its domed cap is scattered in flecks of sky blue, yellow, orange, green, red and white, and rests on a soft white stem. The colour carries right round under the cap, where streaks of orange, yellow, green and blue fan out from the stem, so it looks just as cheerful from underneath as from the top. The stem is flecked with dark purple, the spots gathering more thickly towards the bottom, and it widens gently as it goes down, giving the piece a sturdy little toadstool shape. It stands 7.5cm tall, 5.4cm wide and 5.6cm deep.
At that size it fits easily on a bookshelf, a mantelpiece, a desk or a bedside table, bringing a bright, playful note without taking up much room. On a windowsill the glass catches the daylight, and the clearer flecks in the cap glow as the light passes through them. It sits happily among house plants or a few pebbles and shells, or on its own as a small spot of colour in a plain room. We think it suits a home with a soft spot for woodland themes, cheerful colour and little glass ornaments gathered over time.
The figurine is glass all the way through, with a shiny finish on both the cap and the stem. It stands upright on the base of its stem with no stand needed. To keep the colours bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it straight away so the shine stays clear of marks. As with any glass piece, give it a spot back from the edge of a shelf where it will not be knocked. Wrapped in tissue, it makes a bright small gift, and on your own shelf it is the kind of piece people pick up and turn over in the hand.
