Description
This miniature glass figurine of a tropical fish brings a small, bright note of colour to a shelf or windowsill. Its body is a rich orange, banded from head to tail with deep blue stripes edged in black, and it has the cheerful face of a reef fish: round eyes, full pouting lips and a pair of rounded orange fins at the front. The ridged fin along its back is clear glass with a soft smoky tint, the fin beneath is a pale blush pink, and the tail runs from black through a band of pale blue to a yellow-green tip. It stands 4.5cm tall, 2.5cm wide and 7cm deep, so it sits comfortably in the palm of your hand.
Because it is so small, it suits the spots where a larger ornament would crowd things: a gap on a bookshelf, a desk beside the keyboard, a bedside table or a sunny sill, where daylight shows through the clear and pink fins. It looks at home among shells and pebbles on a bathroom shelf for a seaside feel, or grouped with your own small glass pieces in a display cabinet. For anyone who loves bright colour or the sea, it makes a cheerful little present that is easy to wrap and send.
Made entirely of glass, the fish has a smooth, glossy finish and rests upright on its lower fins, so it needs no stand or fixing. Glass this small is delicate, so place it where it will not be knocked and pick it up by the body rather than the fins. To keep the colours bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it gently with a damp cloth and dry it straight away. We like it on a pale dish or a mirrored tray, where the orange and blue stripes stand out all the more.
