Horses, Unicorns et al from Russia

Horse lovers do not need reminding of how much we as human beings owe to horses.  Because Eurasia had horses it marched to a different historical beat compared to the Western Hemisphere, Australia and Sub-Saharan Africa, which did not have horses for reasons not quite known.  Native populations in countries without horses remained sparse, scattered and primarily hunter-gathers.  The domestication and training of horses had an intense impact on the people of Eurasia.  New horizons were suddenly open to them, they could travel and people began to explore, migrate and conquer new worlds.

Man’s love for horses’ dates back to ancient times and that is why these beautifully crafted; gracefully designed glass figurines of horses do full justice to the majesty and grace of a great animal.  The figurines come in a wide range of horse postures: they rear up; they paw the ground; they stamp and they stand gazing, and you are forced to gaze back in awe.

These wonderful blown glass figurines are not limited to horses but to Unicorns and Zebras as well as a whole range of superbly crafted glass figurine collections.  You can always add the Unicorn that enchanting mythical beast that has captured hearts ever since the first stories evolved.  The Unicorn is so well designed and made that it captures the mystery surrounding the animal down to its unique horn in the centre of its forehead, showcasing well the symbolism of their grace, finesse, and unconquerable nature.  Once you start your collection and see the sheer beauty of the Zebra glass figurines you will not be able to resist adding at least one to your collection.  The Zebra or African Equid is the closest relative to the horse and would definitely fit in well with your collection of animal figurines.

Hand blown glass figurines have evolved to become a fine art and are very much in demand the world over.  In fact some pieces are very rare and considered collector’s items.  These striking pieces are collected from all over the world and come in all styles, shapes, sizes and designs. The Russian glass animal figurines are considered to be highly popular and much sought after pieces available today.  You will surely every animal imaginable designed, created and blown in a beautiful glass figurine replica.  Cat and dog figurines are very much in demand but people enjoy collecting all kinds of animals; glass horse figurines, zebra figurines and glass unicorn figurines are also very much in demand.

Glass blowing has been around for centuries, way back since 50 BC and is an ancient art form.  However the blown glass figurines we see available today came many centuries later when glass blowing techniques evolved to the high level of sophistication it enjoys today.

You too can own a piece of this veritable treasure if you so decide, start out by looking and it will not stop there - you will become a collector!
