Description
This glass figurine captures a stingray mid-glide, its broad wings spread wide and its slender tail curling up and over at the tip. The glass is a deep, clear blue, flecked all over with green and darker blue speckles, with greener tones across the top and a richer blue towards the edges, while the tail fades to a pale aqua. Two small dark eyes sit on the head and give the piece a gentle, friendly face. It measures 12.6cm wide, 14.7cm deep and 4.4cm high, so it is a low, hand-sized ornament rather than a tall one.
At just 4.4cm high, our stingray rests neatly on a bookshelf, a desk, a bedside table or a windowsill, where daylight passing through the glass brings out every speckle. It looks at home alongside shells, driftwood and other sea-inspired pieces in a coastal-themed room, and it works just as well on its own as a small spot of colour on a pale shelf or a neutral mantelpiece. Because it is low and compact, it suits narrow ledges and crowded shelves where a taller ornament would not fit. As a gift, it is easy to wrap and brings a little of the ocean indoors.
The figurine is made of glass and rests on its smooth underside, so it needs no stand, hook or fixing. Like any glass ornament, it is happiest somewhere it will not be knocked or nudged off the edge. To keep it bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it straight away so no water marks dull the surface. Place it near a window or beside a lamp and the blues and greens glow; on a shadier shelf it reads as a deep, jewel-like blue. Wrapped in tissue paper, it makes a thoughtful little present for any shelf.
