Formed from 100% recycled glass collected in Swaziland, each elephant is shaped by hand in a small workshop where the glassblowing tradition runs deep. The pale green tone — a natural quality of the recycled material — shifts in the light, reading clear at one angle and softly luminous at another. The rounded body, curled trunk, and fanned ears are rendered with enough specificity to give each piece its own presence, while the form stays spare enough to sit quietly on a shelf or mantle without demanding attention.

Because each piece is shaped individually, slight variations in proportion, tonal depth, and the curve of the trunk are entirely expected — and what makes every elephant its own.

GLASS, THEN HANDS

A small figure with a long way home

It starts as a collected bottle somewhere in Swaziland, passes through the hands of a craftsperson who has been working glass for years, and arrives on your shelf carrying that whole quiet history. Set it beside a stack of books or a candle — it doesn't need much room to settle in.
