Made in England. A solid silver portrait of the enormous, magnificent birds who spend their long lives soaring amid the mountainous seas of the southern oceans.

With recorded wingspans of over 12 feet Albatrosses are one of the world’s largest birds. Albatrosses are known to form 'Pair Bonds', a scientific term that implies a lifelong monogamous relationship.

Yachtsmen and women skilled enough to sail in the high southern latitudes have recorded these giants following their boats for days on end.
In days of old the albatross was seen as a fellow traveller, another 'Christian soul', by lonely sailors. They believed the albatross brought good luck for the crew and symbolizes the delicate balance between man and the ocean.

This silver albatross measure slightly over 5cm - which is two inches from wingtip to wingtip and weighs around 5g.

The ‘stick’ visible on the bottom of the master pattern in some of the pictures is a sprue that is used in production and will not be present on the finished pieces.
