I ship using First Class postage in the UK and Airmail for worldwide orders with no charge for additional items! Shipping upgrades are also available for tracked and signed delivery, just let me know if you would like this additional option.
All the items in my shop are handmade by myself in my studio in Scotland! I use a variety of different glass techniques to create unique designs and custom orders are always welcome.
Forget Me Knots are one of my most favourite flowers and I loved using their imagery with the elephant, playing with the idea that elephants never forget. I've made this design in a few different colourways now, so feel free to ask if the traditional blue or pink isn't quite grabbing you.
This is a custom-made item and cannot be returned unless faulty.
Please note that if your order is being posted outside mainland UK, you (or the recipient) may have to pay customs or VAT charges and a handling fee. The seller is not responsible for any charges or fees that may incur.
Full description
An elephant never forgets...
This elephant is made from one piece of chunky 10mm thick clear float glass that has been cut to shape using a water jet cutting machine.
It has then been screen-printed by hand in this forget me knot floral design using your choice of coloured glass enamels, which are fired into place making them waterproof and resistant to sunlight. All my kiln-fired pieces are carefully digitally annealed and cooled for strength and safety.
Finally a small clear glass base is fused onto the elephants feet for stability and it is gift boxed with a story card.
It measures -
Height - 140mm / 5 1/2 inches
Width - 200mm / 7 7/8 inches
Depth - 20mm / 3/4 inch
Weight - 375g / 13.2oz
The image above is an example, as each Elephant is unique, due to the making process.
Elephants are also available as brooches and cufflinks in my shop collections.
Custom orders are welcome and most designs can be produced in various colours, so please contact me to discuss any ideas you might have!
This piece is unique, designed and made by me in my studio in Glasgow, Scotland.
