Giant Blue Gnome

Garden gnome statues as we know them today were first created in the mid-1800s by Phillip Griebel, a sculptor of terracotta animals in a small town in Germany.

Gnome legends were especially popular in Germany and Griebel made his gnome statues so that people could better enjoy the myths and stories of gnomes who lovingly tended to gardens at night.

The very first garden gnomes were moulded from terracotta clay then dried, fired in a kiln and painted, garden gnomes soon became very popular.

These giant gnomes are a lovely take on Griebel's originals and we hope you'll love them standing lofty at 85cm with a fabulous shiny, brightly coloured finish.

Care should be taken with these gnomes, especially if placing outdoors as they are extremely fragile, we recommend finding a safe spot for them indoors or within a wind-free porch or summerhouse.

Also available in a smaller 60cm size.

This fragile item is available for shipping to mainland U.K. addresses only, excluding Scottish Highlands addresses.
