Trumpet Elephant Streaked Glass Figurine - Black & Grey

This trumpet elephant figurine is made from smoky black and grey glass, and sits up on its haunches with its trunk raised high and its ears spread wide. Dark streaks run down through the body like brushstrokes, while the trunk fades to clear glass towards its curled tip, so the colour seems to lift as your eye follows it upwards. The rounded ears carry a warmer, smoky tone, with ribbed lines that catch the light. It stands 18.5cm tall, 13.5cm wide and 9cm deep, a size that holds its own on a shelf without crowding it.

We like it where daylight can reach it: on a windowsill, a mantelpiece or a bookcase shelf, the glass shows its layers of black, grey and clear as the light changes through the day. Its seated pose and rounded base suit a dresser, a hallway console or a bedside table, and at 9cm deep it fits narrow ledges that a bulkier ornament would overhang. It sits happily alone or alongside other glass pieces, and the dark tones work with both pale walls and deeper colour schemes.

The figurine is made entirely of glass, and the streaks show from every side, front and back alike, so it looks good wherever it is turned. To keep it bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it gently with a damp cloth and dry it straight away to avoid water marks. As with any glass ornament, handle it with care and place it where it will not be knocked. As a gift, it suits anyone who enjoys elephants or coloured glass, and it needs nothing more than a clear space on a shelf to look its best.
