Swirled Seahorse Glass Figurine with Round Clear Base - Blue

This seahorse glass figurine stands 20.7cm tall, its curling body twisted through with swirls of deep blue, red and pink set in clear glass. The seahorse rises upright with its snout tilted forward, a frilled crest running down the back of its head, a small clear fin at its side and a tail that curls round to meet a round clear glass base. It is slim, just 5.5cm wide and 7.1cm deep, and the shiny finish lets the colours glow as light passes through the glass.

We like it best where daylight can reach it: on a windowsill, a bookshelf or a mantelpiece, the swirls of colour catch the light and shift through the day. Its narrow footprint means it sits happily on a crowded shelf or a bedside table without taking over, and the sea theme suits a coastal-style living room, a hallway or a study just as well. It rewards a second look, too, as the blue and red ribbons wind round the body differently from every side. It also makes a cheerful gift with a seaside feel, and it needs no batteries, no wall and no assembly: it simply stands where you put it.

The figurine is made entirely of glass, with a shiny finish and the colour running as swirls through the body, crest and snout, while the fin, the curled tail tip and the base are left clear. The round base gives it a steady footing on any flat surface. To keep it bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth and wipe it with a damp cloth, then dry it so no water marks remain. Glass is best handled with care, so lift it by the body rather than the fin or crest. For a simple display, set it on a sunny sill beside a few shells or a small blue vase, or wrap it in tissue as a seaside-themed gift.
