Description
This miniature glass figurine takes the shape of a starfish, with five tapering arms in a bright, glossy red. Rows of raised white dots run along each arm towards the centre, where white speckles and flecks scatter through the red, much like the markings on a real starfish. It is a small piece, 7cm high, 7cm wide and just 1.5cm deep, so it lies low and flat and catches the light across its smooth surface. The raised dots add a little texture you can feel under a fingertip, and the white against the red gives it a cheerful, seaside look.
Its size makes it ideal for small spaces: a mantelpiece, a bookcase shelf, a display cabinet, a windowsill or a desk. Set it among shells and pebbles for a beach feel, or let it bring a single spot of red to a pale shelf where nothing else competes. It sits well in a coastal bedroom, a bathroom with a seaside theme or a holiday cottage, and it is a simple way to start or add to a group of glass ornaments. Because it is so small, it also makes an easy gift to give on its own or alongside a larger present.
The figurine is made of glass, with a smooth, high-gloss finish over the red body and its white dots. It lies flat on any level surface, so there is no stand or hook to think about. Like any glass piece, it is best handled gently and placed where it will not be knocked from a shelf. To keep the shine bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it straight away. Wrapped in tissue, it makes a small, bright gift that brings a little of the seaside indoors.
