At the edge of a little paddling pool, a blue duck pauses in its sunny yellow swimming ring, as though gathering courage for its first swimming lesson. A folded towel waits nearby, and pale blue ripples promise a small adventure ahead. This miniature glass ornament captures that cheerful moment before the first splash—a gentle reminder that new beginnings can be playful, and a little courage can go a long way.
Why We Love It
There is a lovely playful contrast between the translucent blue duck and its yellow swimming ring. A little yellow beak, green wing details and orange-red spots reward a closer look, while the smaller duck-shaped front of the ring adds its own tiny black eyes and red beak.

Styling
Place it on a small display saucer on a mantelpiece, beside a favourite framed photograph, leaving a little room for its glass colours to catch the daylight. It makes a cheerful gift for a duck lover, someone starting a new chapter, or anyone who enjoys playful little details around the home.
Glass Care
Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth. Lift by supporting the swimming ring and body, taking care around both beaks and the small wing details. Keep away from shelf edges and protect from knocks and abrasive cleaning products.
