Mini Moments - Glass Animal Figurines

Have a mini moment every time you gift or glance at a hand-crafted glass figurine from The Russian Store!


These hand-blown miniature glass figurines are the best quality, coming straight from St. Petersburg, where glassblowers have perfected the technique of glass blowing a long, long time ago.

Lucky elephant (elephants with their trunks in the air) glass figurines are very popular. They make interesting business gifts. Colorful birds and fish are also popular. There are many more fun loving animals and crazy creatures, just waiting to be "adopted" at The Russian Store.

    1. All of our glass figurines were hand-blown by talented gaffers in St. Petersburg, Russia. No two are exactly the same!
