Hippo Christmas Ornament, Stained Glass Zoo Animal Gift, Ceramic Hanging Tree Decoration

Smiling Mosaic Hippo on a Radiant Glass Sunburst With a Jeweled Border. Ceramic Keepsake for Animal Lovers.

A tree tells you who a family is. This Stained Glass Hippo ornament from Marlowood adds a piece worth keeping: a glossy round ceramic face about 2.9 inches across, printed with a smiling cartoon hippopotamus head front on in mosaic stained glass with heavy black leading, golden amber and tan with grey blue shading, big blue grey eyes and an open pink mouth, against a radiating teal, blue and green glass background inside a wide jewelled border, with the gold cord attached and no assembly of any kind. There is a reason this is ceramic and not plastic. Firing seals the artwork into the glaze rather than laying a decal on top, so it will not peel, chalk or dull with handling. Both faces are printed edge to edge, the 2.9 inch disc is light enough that thin branches hold it level, and the knotted cord sits at the balance point so it hangs straight instead of tipping forward. Storage is easy because it packs flat. Give it to hippo lovers and animal collectors, zoo and safari fans, buyers of suncatcher style decor, stocking stuffer and teacher gift shoppers, or keep it for your own collection. It works as a stocking stuffer, secret Santa gift, white elephant swap item, appreciation gift, coworker exchange, host gift or a small surprise tucked into a card. It also hangs beautifully on wreaths, garlands, doorknobs, rearview mirrors, office desks and dorm windows.

• Glossy Ceramic Keepsake This Stained Glass Hippo Christmas ornament is kiln-fired ceramic sealed under a glossy glaze, so the artwork stays sharp and bright season after season. The glaze seals the print, so fingerprints wipe away and the colors do not chalk or dull with handling. Chosen for hippo lovers and animal collectors, zoo and safari fans, buyers of suncatcher style decor, stocking stuffer and teacher gift shoppers, it is built to be kept rather than tossed out in January.
• Built As A Gift For Hippo And Animal Lovers It slots straight into a stocking stuffer, office party swap, thank-you card upgrade, end-of-year token or white elephant entry. It reads as thoughtful to hippo lovers and animal collectors, zoo and safari fans, buyers of suncatcher style decor, stocking stuffer and teacher gift shoppers rather than as a filler item. It ships boxed and gift-ready, so there is nothing to assemble. No wrapping required.
• Artwork You Can Read Across The Room The design shows a smiling cartoon hippopotamus head front on in mosaic stained glass with heavy black leading, golden amber and tan with grey blue shading, big blue grey eyes and an open pink mouth, against a radiating teal, blue and green glass background inside a wide jewelled border. The round format keeps the composition centered, so the focal point is not cut off by the hanging hole. There is no blank back facing the room.
• No Hook Or Ribbon Needed The gold cord arrives already tied on, so this round Stained Glass Hippo ornament is not limited to the Christmas tree. Hang it on a stocking hanger, a bookshelf, a wreath, a curtain tieback, a dorm window, a doorknob or a shop pegboard. It works just as well on a real fir as on a slim pencil tree or a mini desk tree. The cord is long enough to loop over a branch twice if you want it sitting deeper in the tree.
• Says Something A Gift Card Cannot Picking this Stained Glass Hippo design means picking the person, not just checking a box. It ships carefully boxed, so it arrives ready to hand over without a trip to the wrapping drawer. Each one ships carefully packed so it arrives ready to give. It stores flat and safe for decades of Decembers. Glazed ceramic will not fade, crumble or go brittle the way paper and foam ornaments do. Ships boxed and ready to give.

The stained glass look is printed artwork on a smooth glazed ceramic disc - there is no real leaded glass anywhere in this ornament.
