Amber Glass Snail Figurines

The eye stalks do most of the work here. Long and curved, they make these glass snails look as though they’re peering over the edge of a plant pot. The expressive eyes give them a slightly nosy air, as if they’re keeping track of everything else on the windowsill.

Each snail is handmade using flame-worked glass, with a speckled amber-brown body. That warm color keeps the design quieter than the exaggerated eyes might suggest. At approximately 1.5 to 2.5 inches tall, they’re sized for close-up inspection on a shelf or tucked into a terrarium, rather than as the main object in a display.

They’re available individually or as a pair in two sizes. A single one gives a plant pot its own curious resident; the pair makes sense if you like the idea of two sets of eyes peeking out between the leaves. They suit someone who already treats their houseplants as a collection worth decorating and has room for something a little odd among the stems.
