Tulip

Description

This beautifully handcrafted tulip has been intricately carved with great detail to catch the lights and shadows in your home. One of my favorite flowers in the garden is a purple and white striped tulip. The fact that it signals the end of winter is a plus but the shape and color are what draw me over to it several times a day. This very delicate piece reminded me of the shape of the tulips just as they are beginning to open.

This design was originally created as an ornament for your holiday tree but most folks hang them all year round in a favorite window to catch the sunlight and create shadow magic.

Each tulip is hand carved from high quality porcelain and fired in an electric kiln to 2381 degrees. I do not use molds or slip cast any items. I spend many hours carving each piece and smoothing rough edges to create the intricate details.

The tulip measures about 2 1/2" X 2 1/4" and is laced with a white or violet colored satin ribbon to use as a hanger. You may pick your ribbon color by contacting me at the contact section. If you do not choose a color, I will ship it with whatever I have in stock. It is beautiful with both colors so I don't think you will be disappointed either way. Each tulip is slipped into a homemade satin pouch for safekeeping when not hanging around in your home.

I hope this will help to bring a bit of your garden inside for the holidays and all year.
