Description
This glass octopus figurine sits curled over a clear glass rock, its rounded blue head striped with fine lines of deeper blue. Two white eyes with black centres give it a friendly, watchful look, and its pale blue tentacles spill down and around the rock, several of them turning up into a small curl at the tip. The clear rock beneath holds tiny air bubbles that catch the light, so the whole piece reads like a little scene from a rock pool. It stands 9.8cm tall, 9.6cm wide and 9.7cm deep, a compact size that slips easily into a gap on a crowded shelf.
Being glass, it looks its best where daylight or lamplight can reach it. A sunny windowsill, a bookshelf beside a lamp or a desk by the window all let the blues glow and the bubbles sparkle. It works on its own as a small focal point, or grouped with shells, pebbles and driftwood in a seaside corner of a living room, hallway or study. It also makes a cheerful, easy gift, small enough to tuck into a parcel and bright enough to raise a smile when it comes out of the tissue.
The figurine is made of glass, with the striped blue octopus wrapped over the clear rock, and it sits on the base of the rock, so it needs no stand and no fixings. To keep it bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth; if it needs more, wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it straight away so no water marks dull the shine. As with any glass ornament, handle it gently and keep it back from the edge of a shelf where it could be knocked. Set it where the morning sun falls across it and the blues shift from deep ocean to pale sky as the light moves through the day.
