This is a balloon animal recreated in glossy yellow ceramic: the classic twisted-balloon poodle shape, right down to the pinched joints where a party performer would tie off each loop, frozen in a material that will never lose its air. It stands 7 inches tall and reads as a bright, cheerful object from across a room, the kind of thing that makes people smile when they notice it on a shelf. Small felt-style pads on the feet keep it from scratching whatever surface it sits on. It fits right in with the playful pieces in our home decor shop.

Styling
Bright yellow and a recognizable shape make this an easy way to add a little humor without redecorating anything around it. Set it on a bookshelf next to a stack of hardcovers, or use it as an anchor for a gallery of smaller objects on an open shelf, where its glossy finish catches the light differently than the matte pieces around it.
It also works on a desk or credenza in a home office, somewhere that could use a bit of levity between the stapler and the desk lamp. Pair it with other glazed ceramics in a home accents grouping and let the yellow be the one saturated color in an otherwise neutral vignette.
Care
- Dust with a dry, soft cloth
- Wipe with a barely damp cloth and dry immediately if needed
- Not dishwasher safe and not food safe, this is a decorative object
- Glazed ceramic chips if knocked against a hard edge; handle by the body
