"Rosy Pink and gleaming Ruby Red"

Rosy pink, ruby red and gleaming with tiny silver bubbles - there's a quiet magic in this little pig. Handcrafted by Nobile Glassware, each piglet is hand-cut from sheets of coloured glass, then layered, fused and fired in a kiln until it shines. Perched on a clear glass base, it loves a sunlit windowsill, mantelpiece or shelf where light can play through its glossy form. Long seen as symbols of luck and abundance, pigs make wonderfully meaningful gifts - a charming way to mark a birthday, anniversary, engagement, or simply to bring a smile.

Established in 1993, Nobile Glassware is a UK-based supplier of handmade glass and giftware, renowned for its in-house designed and exclusively manufactured collections - making each piece highly collectable and sought-after.

The intricate process begins by blending the finest raw materials and heating them to 2400°F (1315°C) until they transform into glass. The temperature is then carefully reduced so the molten glass becomes workable, allowing craftsmen to gather, blow, and shape it using techniques and tools that are centuries old, before pieces are slowly cooled in an annealer over hours or days. Slight variations in colour, size, or tiny bubbles are the hallmark of the maker's hand - a proof of authenticity.
