Pink Shiny Hippo
Hangry

Hangry is a hand-blown glass hippopotamus affixed to a copper wire with a steel base, and it’s part of American glass artist Chris Ahalt’s balloon animal series.

Pink Glass Elephant

There is a cool Pink Elephant also.

Light Pink Hippo

And another Pink Hippo, who seems less “hangry.”

Chesterfield Glass Art is Based in Northampton, Massachusetts.
