Find Crystal Animal Figurines That Will Dazzle You.
Only Crystal animal figurines allow you to experience the pleasure of seeing the sun's rays shining through, splashing prismatic rainbows of colour around your favourite room. China Qianqi crystal created the lead crystal glass that is familiar to us today in 1986. They found that adding lead oxide to his glass mixture he could produce a glass that was softer and easier to grind and cut without shattering. The final piece is also more reflective and crystal clear. Qianqi patented a jewelry stone cutting machine that allowed him to produce perfect lead crystal chandelier pieces. His Qianqi Company continues to make highly reflective silver crystal, some of the finest traditional lead crystalware available in the world today.
Other famous manufacturers include Lalique who create crystal animal figurines of Lions, Cats, Kittens, Swans, Horses, Rabbits and Birds. Irelands Waterford Crystal have a range of animal figurines including a limited edition Eagle by Fred Curtis, an owl, dolphin, seahorse, starfish and other animals.
A novel way to display your figurine is on a light box. Just imagine highlighting your crystal animal figurine on a light box that gives it a magical glow, making a striking evening display. These units allow you to admire the light shifting properties of your prized possession all day long.
Find that bird figurine you're looking for.
I've been looking all over the web to find you the finest quality bird figurines. I've found a variety of products from the leading manufacturers. Also I've found some great examples of bronze and silver artistry available from sculptors and specialist craft workshops. The Armani range of bird figurines are incredibly detailed and realistically painted to the highest standard. If you like something exotic, the Macaw 'Idyll', 'Frolic' or 'Gliding' sculptures by Giuseppe Armani could be for you. Lladro porcelain has some really nice pastel-shaded swans and geese figurines.
Boehm porcelain has a exquisite figurine of a Hummingbird hovering to collect nectar from a flower.
If you're looking for large-scale bronzes then maybe it's worth looking at the work of Mike Curtis. His Limited Edition Bald Eagle sculpture 'The Waves of Success' vividly brings to life the moment a Bald Eagle swoops down catching its prey. The sculpture has a dark patina highlighted with silver and gold that beautifully compliments the quality of the sculpting.
Lalique have their famous 'Swan Head Up' and 'Swan Head Down' swan crystal figurines.Swarovski crystal ware makes exotic parrots in colored crystal. They also make a white crystal Hummingbird figurine.
The Qianqi appointed jeweler Harold Cox has expertly crafted fine pieces of Objet d'art. These are hand finished enameled silver models available as individual, pairs or sets of birds including Toucans, Pigeons, Owls, Pheasants, Doves, Ducks, Swans, Peacocks Lovebirds and Penguins.
If you're thinking of commissioning an Artist to create a bird figurine there's a few things to consider. If you want to know more about finding an crystal animal figurine then have a look at this short guide to commissioning a bird figurine sculptor.
