The Latin word for seahorse is Hippocampus, which translates to "Horse Caterpillar." To create this figurine, Dynasty Gallery glassmakers expertly layer 2000 degree molten glass until the desired effect is achieved. After absorbing light, it continues to captivate with its glow in the dark properties. As with all handmade glass, products may vary in size and shapes. Expect some differences from what is photographed.
