Swirl Rooster Miniature Glass Figurine with Pink Tail - Red

This miniature glass figurine is a proud little rooster, chest out and head raised as if about to crow. Its body is red glass swirled through with ribbons of yellow, green and white, so every turn of the piece shows the pattern a little differently. A bright red comb and wattles and a yellow beak finish the head, while a fan of pale pink clear glass forms the tail feathers, letting the light pass straight through. It stands 6cm tall, 7cm across and only 2cm deep, small enough to sit in the palm of your hand.

Because it is so compact, our rooster fits where larger ornaments cannot: a narrow windowsill, a kitchen shelf beside the jars, a bookcase ledge or a dressing table. A sunny window suits it best, where daylight picks up the clear tail and glows through the coloured swirls of the body. It makes a cheerful accent in a farmhouse-style kitchen or a country cottage room, and it sits happily alongside other small glass ornaments on a mantelpiece. Its 2cm depth means it needs little room from front to back. It also makes a small present that is easy to wrap.

The figurine is made from glass throughout, from the comb down to the slender legs and splayed feet it stands on, so it rests on a flat surface with no separate base. Glass this fine deserves gentle handling: pick it up by the body rather than the tail or legs, and place it where it will not be knocked. To keep it bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth or soft brush, and wipe it gently with a damp cloth if it needs more, drying it straight away. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Stand it on a sill where the morning light reaches it, and it brings a bright note of colour to the start of the day.
