Sandpiper on String by The Glass Bakery

Sandpiper (Calidris pusilla, Calidris minutilla)

The Sandpiper is a favourite little long-legged bird commonly found running around the mud-flats of the Bay of Fundy and along the sandy beaches of Maritime Canada. The shape is designed and hand-cut with layers of coloured crushed glass are built up on the clear shape before firing the bird in a kiln over many hours. Comes with detachable driftwood perch.

Handcrafted in Nova Scotia from glass (no paints, glazes or molds) with artisan studio-glass made in Nova Scotia.

Size Approximately 3.5" 

Please note:

1. Please expect minor variations in tone, shade, and shape due to the handcrafted, unique and whimsical nature of the work.
2. Because the birds are created using successive layering of glass, their detail is best seen from the front.
