Available during 1993, the African Elephant was the first of the ÂÂÂÂœInspiration Africa trilogy. Made from clear crystal, with frosted tusks and black eyes, the Elephant was a sensation as it stood on 4 legs. Designed by Martin Zendron, the elephant is 4 3/8 (111mm) long. A black wooden stand was available separately to display the elephant on. A clear crystal plaque to display with the ÂÂÂÂœInspiration Africa series was also available.

In the UK, the Elephant was launched at a special event for SCS members at the Grosvenor House Hotel, Park Lane.  At this event, the elephant was presented to the collector in a special Tote Bag.  We have one of these bags listed separately.
