Glass Eyes and Jewels

Many of our weathervane designs come with glass eyes. We offer either taxidermy eyes or translucent glass jewels, depending on the subject matter depicted. Typically we use taxidermy eyes for animal weathervanes (with the exception of cats and frogs) and translucent glass jewels for our human figure weathervanes.

As an option, we can order custom taxidermy glass eyes specific to the animal depicted in your weathervane. If you are interested in this option, please let us know.

Below is a Glass Eye Color Chart showing some of the options available. Following this Chart are examples of each of the three eye styles offered by West Coast Weather Vanes.
