Classic Glass & Wire Dragonfly Rectangle Trinket Box - White

This glass trinket box wears a hand-painted dragonfly across its lid, its wings spread wide and picked out in white, resting on a curling wire stem with a single green leaf and a small pink-centred flower at one corner. The rectangular box is made of frosted glass panels set in a slim silver-toned frame, so it gives a soft, pale glow rather than a hard shine. It stands 4cm high, 7.5cm wide and 6cm deep, small enough to sit in the palm of your hand yet roomy enough for the little things that tend to go astray.

We picture it on a dressing table or a bedside table, where it keeps rings, earrings, a fine chain or a pair of cufflinks together in one place. It works just as well on a desk for paper clips and a spare key, or on a hallway shelf as a home for the odds and ends that empty from pockets at the end of the day. The dragonfly and leaf bring a light, garden feel to a room without asking for much space, and the pale glass sits happily beside white, cream, grey or soft pastel schemes. As a gift it is easy to love: small, pretty and useful from the moment it is unwrapped.

The lid is hinged along the back and lifts by a small round knob at the front, opening right back so you can reach everything inside. To care for it, dust with a soft dry cloth and wipe the glass with a slightly damp cloth, then dry it straight away; treat the hand-painted dragonfly gently and avoid harsh cleaners on its paintwork. For a pretty dressing table corner, set it beside a small vase of fresh flowers, or wrap it in tissue as a gift that needs nothing more.
