Tall Penguin Glass Figurine with Clear Flippers - Black

This tall glass penguin figurine stands proudly upright with its beak tipped towards the sky, as though it has just spotted something worth watching. Its back, head and beak are a deep black, while a bright white front runs from chin to toes, just as a real penguin's does. Two clear glass flippers sit at its sides, catching the light and giving the piece a lovely sense of movement, and two small black feet peep out at the base. It stands 21cm tall, 13cm across and 10.5cm deep, a good size to be noticed on a shelf without crowding the pieces around it.

We think it looks its best where the light can reach it: on a windowsill, a mantelpiece, a bookshelf or a dressing table, where the clear flippers glow and the black glass shows its depth. The black and white colouring sits happily in almost any scheme, from crisp modern rooms to warm wood and soft neutrals, and it keeps good company with plants, books and other small treasures. It is a cheerful companion for a desk or a hallway console too. Set it on its own as a little talking point, or let it lead a small group of favourite ornaments.

The figurine is made of glass, smooth to the touch, with its black, white and clear parts flowing into one another as one piece. It is freestanding, resting on its rounded base and two little feet, so it needs no wall, hook or stand. To keep it looking bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth or wipe it gently with a damp cloth and dry it straight away, and handle it with the care any glass ornament deserves. Wrapped in tissue, it makes a charming gift, and it is a lovely way to bring a little wildlife character to a home.
