Glass Figurines

Glass figurines

Our beautiful glass figurines apply to many people - both those who have a favourite pet, and those who simply love great design.

In this glass terminology the natural order regarding colours of animal males and females does not exist. Our pair of ducks is colourful with dominant blue and green added a twist of red, yellow and orange. The same applies to the lying glass duck which base colour is dark blue with red, yellow and green stripes.

The glass fish brings colours to life with their beautiful rainbow colours or slightly more subdued orange and black fishe. The black-and-white striped fish is an abstract sculpture, which is ideal on a dresser, bookshelf or windowsill for young people who mainly keep their home décor in white colours. An obvious contrast to the white walls, furniture, etc. is the black glass figurines of swans and chickens. The same applies to the green frog, which will undoubtedly attract the attention of any visitor.

The cute little turtles with shield in different colours are decorative ornaments on the coffee table or on a shelf. They do not take up much space but make a positive input.

Some of the recently added glass figurines are cats, mice and penguins in white and black. Glass cats are great gifts for cat lovers and small, thick penguins bring a smile on most people's lips. We have also just added two cute glass clowns to the collection along with two very colourfull glass elephants and a seashell.

Duck - wedding present

It is an old Chinese tradition to give a figurine of a duck as a weddingpresent, because the duck symbolizes erotic and unity. At the same time the duck symbolices eternal life, satisfaction, loyalty and the connection between water and sky.

Bird - intuition

Intuition, fantasy, thoughts and freedom is what the bird symbolises when it flies high up in the sky. The bird represents the spirit, the soul and the communication between gods and humans. If we are open for the messages the bird gives us, we can receive many guiding answers and clues when making big decisions. For example if a bird knocks on your window a new soul will come in to your life. Probably because of this saying, it has become a tradition to give figurines of birds in association with pregnancies.

Swan - mystery and elegance

Penguin - transformation

Transformation is probably the most profound word, we need to descripe the bird that cannot fly. In many ways the penguin is a very unique animal. This bird has addapted to live in one of the most harsh environments on the earth. Penguins symbolise survival and survivors. On the ice the penguins walk slowly in a flock, but in the water this unique animal swim freely, dynamic and energetic - almost as if it flew. The penguin is therefore a well chosen symbol for a person who is very good in adaptable- and transforming situations and environments. Do you know a person who really have the capability to adapt to changes. This is why a penguin figurine would be the perfect leaving home gift. The black and white design is very popular among young people and with the symbolic meaning of the animal the leavning home gift is secured!

Mouse - checkered

Despite the small size of mice and their harmless being, mice can scare even the biggest elephant. Mice are the symbol of speediness and checkerness. An old proverb says, it is better to be little and quick but big and lazy. This describes the symbolic meaning of the mouse very well. The mice figurines from DPH Trading are very sweet in the decoration of your house.

Elephant - Hindu god

Hinduism has 330 gods - one of the most popular gods is Ganesha - characterized by his elephant head.
Ganesha means the one who removes all barriers. He is the god for peace, success and self-indulgence.
In India the elephant earns a lot of respect in the society and is a major part of a lot of rituals. Ie. an elephant is hired to crack a coconut when a new store is opened - or he gives a politician a wreth around the neck before the election begins. Both rituals are to grant success to the receiver.
In the hindu temples in India elephants bless the visitors - granting them success and a peacefull life.
