Description
This ceramic cross trinket box is a small, lidded keepsake for the day of a First Holy Communion. The whole piece is shaped as a cross, lid and base alike, so it keeps its outline whether it sits closed on a shelf or open on a dressing table. The cream lid carries the words FIRST HOLY COMMUNION in gold lettering, with a golden chalice and white host near the foot of the cross and fresh green leaf sprigs on the arms and the top. It measures 9.7cm wide, 6.7cm deep and 3.6cm high, a size that sits comfortably in the hand and tucks neatly onto a narrow shelf.
Lift the lid and there is room for the small things worth keeping from the day: a medal, a pendant on a fine chain or a length of ribbon. Once the day is over it belongs on a bedroom shelf, a bedside table or a dressing table, where the printed words bring the occasion back to mind each time the lid comes off. As a Communion gift it suits godparents, grandparents, aunts and uncles looking for something lasting to give alongside a card, and its compact size makes it easy to wrap and simple to carry to church or to the party afterwards.
The box is made of ceramic, with its design printed onto the cream surface, and the lid sits on top of the base rather than on a hinge, so it lifts straight off. Like any ceramic, it can chip if knocked or dropped, so a settled spot on a shelf suits it best. To keep it looking fresh, dust it with a soft dry cloth and wipe it with a slightly damp cloth when needed, then dry it straight away. For gifting, we like to tuck a small medal or a handwritten note inside before wrapping, so the box is opened twice on the day.
