Description
This mango wood trinket dish is shaped as a heart and topped with a glossy pink coat carrying a cheerful picture of two birds. The pair meet beak to beak in the middle, their yellow bodies marked with blue wing stripes and finished with warm orange-brown tails, while sprigs of green leaves and little blue sprays float above them and an orange branch of foliage sits beneath. The rim is left as bare mango wood, so a band of natural grain frames all that colour. It measures 11cm wide and 10.2cm long and stands just 1.5cm high.
We think it belongs wherever small things go astray. On a dressing table it keeps rings, earrings and a fine chain together at the end of the day, and on a bedside table it gives the jewellery you take off last thing at night a home of its own. By the front door it holds keys and loose change, and on a desk it gathers paper clips, pins and the odd memory stick. Because it is a shallow dish, everything stays in view and is easy to pick out. The heart shape and the two birds make it a cheerful little gift to give.
The dish is made from mango wood with a smooth plastic coating over the decorated top, which gives the pink its high shine. Mango wood has its own grain and markings, so the colours and look can vary a little from one dish to the next, and yours will be its own. It is wipe clean only: run a soft damp cloth over the coated top, dry it straight away and dust the wooden edge with a soft dry cloth. To style it, set it beside a mirror or a small vase of flowers, where the pink and yellow catch the eye, or wrap it up with a pair of earrings already resting inside.
