This bronze sculpture was designed by international artist
Mark Stoddart, the owner of the company, on seeing the Hippopotamus
on visits to Africa.
Glass
size is 54 inches by 36 inches oval and can be made as small
as 36 inches by 24 inches oval or 36 inches round. It can
also be made larger up to 60 inches by 48 inches. For information
on other table dimensions please.
To
date the hippopotamus design has been very popular throughout
the UK, Europe and as far away as Australia, New Zealand,
Florida & Tokyo. As with all our sculptures, it is made to
a limited edition of 99 which have now all been sold. To

in 2004, click here.
Mark
feels he has captured the Hippo in a way that appeals to people
from all walks of life that is both fun and unusual.
The
glass represents water, the Hippo's head and back sitting
our of the water line.
The
Hippo collectibles are so endearing that some customers have
named their hippos, see below. As yet the first mold, known
as the "Artists Approval" has not been named - email
in your suggestions and we'll announce the winning name in
due course. Due to demand, visitors can now register
their interest in the Hippo table - if any come back on the
market, those on the waiting list will have first offer.
