Standing Flamingo Miniature Glass Figurine - Red & White

This standing glass flamingo figurine is a miniature piece in red and white, small enough to sit in the palm of your hand. The bird rises on a long, curving neck to a white head with a black beak and a small black eye, while its body is speckled and streaked with red over white and its tail is tipped in black. Two slender legs of clear glass carry it, ending in spread clear feet that let it stand on its own. It measures 9.5cm tall, 5.5cm wide and 4.5cm deep, so it is a true miniature rather than a large ornament.

At just 9.5cm tall, it suits the places where a larger ornament would crowd things: a bookshelf, a mantelpiece, a bedside table or the corner of a desk. On a windowsill the clear legs and the glass body catch the daylight, and the red markings look brighter when the sun comes through. It sits happily among other small glass pieces in a cabinet, or on its own as a bright note of colour in a white or neutral room. For anyone who loves flamingos, it makes a small, thoughtful gift that is easy to wrap and easy to find a place for.

The figurine is made entirely of glass, from the speckled body to the fine clear legs and feet. Because the legs are slender, it is best placed on a flat, steady surface back from the edge of a shelf, where it will not be knocked by a passing elbow. To keep it bright, dust it gently with a soft dry cloth, and if it needs more, wipe it with a slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away, holding the body rather than the legs or neck. We like it beside a green plant or a small mirror, or wrapped in tissue as a small, cheerful gift.
