Walking Cat Miniature Glass Figurine with Green Eyes - Black

This miniature glass cat figurine is caught mid-stride, its tail held high and curled over at the tip, in smooth, glossy black glass. Two small green eyes look out from a neat rounded face, and the pointed ears carry a hint of dark blue inside. It is a little piece, standing 5.5cm tall and measuring 8.5cm long and 2.5cm across, so it sits comfortably in the palm of your hand. The legs are long and slender, the body sleek, and the light runs along the glass as you turn it, picking out every curve of the back and tail.

Because it is so small, this black cat fits where larger ornaments will not: a narrow shelf, a glass display cabinet, a windowsill, a bedside table or a desk beside the computer. It looks just as good on its own as it does among other small glass animals or keepsakes, and the solid black reads clearly against a white wall or a pale shelf. On a windowsill the glass catches the daylight and the green eyes stand out against the dark body. We like it at eye level, where the walking pose and the raised tail can be seen from the side.

The figurine is made of glass with a high-gloss surface, and it stands on its own four feet, so it needs no stand or base. As with any small glass piece, handle it gently and keep it away from the edge of a busy shelf. To keep the shine bright, dust it with a soft, dry cloth, or wipe it with a slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away. It is an easy little gift to wrap, and at home it looks best on a shelf where it seems to be strolling past the books.
