Description
This little stoneware ornament is a butterfly token for a daughter, and it comes tucked into its own matchbox. The token has a white ground with a cheerful butterfly across the front: soft pink upper wings, pale-blue and pink lower wings dotted with lilac, a lilac body and antennae, and a small touch of warm yellow at the centre. Its outline follows the butterfly itself, with rounded wing tips and gentle curves, so there are no sharp corners to catch on a pocket lining. It measures 4.5cm at its widest and 3.5cm the other way, and it is just 0.5cm deep, small enough to slip into a purse, a wallet or a coat pocket and carry about every day.
We see it as a small, quiet way to remind a daughter that she is loved and thought of, a keepsake she can carry with her or set down wherever she likes. It makes a thoughtful thank-you gift for a daughter who has helped out, and it is just as happy on a bedside table, beside a laptop on a desk or inside a jewellery box, where the pink and lilac butterfly brings a little colour to the day.
The token is made from stoneware, a type of ceramic, with a smooth, glossy surface that shows the print off clearly. It is a keepsake rather than a toy, made to be kept and looked at, not played with. To keep it looking fresh, dust it with a soft dry cloth or wipe it gently with a damp cloth and let it dry. The matchbox gives it a neat home when it is not being carried, and handing it over in its box with a handwritten note makes a lovely little moment.
