Know before you buy
Yes. Because each piece is handcrafted from recycled glass by artisans in Eswatini, no two elephants are exactly alike. You can expect slight variations in shape, texture, and color intensity, which gives every figurine its own distinct personality.
The recycled glass often features subtle bubbles, ripples, or slight color variations inherent to the melting and hand-blowing process. These characteristics are intentional and highlight the authentic, artisanal nature of the material.
To keep your figurine looking its best, gently wipe it with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can dull the finish of the recycled glass over time.
Mbare works directly with Swazi artisans to ensure fair working conditions and wages. By purchasing this piece, you are directly supporting local craftspeople and funding environmental awareness programs in Eswatini schools.
While each size makes a beautiful standalone accent, they are designed to complement one another. Grouping different sizes together creates a cohesive, tiered display that highlights the variation in the hand-blown glass.
