Description
This ceramic heart decoration carries one of the gentlest lines on friendship we know, printed in dark grey type across a pale stone face: “How long will we be friends?” asked Piglet. “How long is forever?” said Pooh. A small blue-green heart sits beneath the words, the front has a faint speckled finish, and a gold-bronze edge runs around the rim. Turn it over and the back is a metallic gold-bronze, set with a decorative keyhole plate. The heart measures 10.5cm across and 3cm deep, small enough to sit in the palm of your hand.
We see it as a gift for a friend, the kind of small thing that says what a card struggles to. The twisted silver-grey cord loops over a hook or a peg, so it can hang in a hallway, beside a desk or by a dressing table where it will be seen every day. An antique-style key in a bronze tone hangs from the cord, echoing the keyhole on the back, while a silver-grey tassel finishes the other end. Between friends who live miles apart, it is a gentle way of saying the friendship is still going strong.
The heart itself is ceramic, with the words printed on its stone-coloured front and the metallic finish on the back, and the cord is fixed at the top of the heart. Dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth to keep the print and the gold-bronze looking fresh, and smooth the tassel with your fingers if it tangles. It also looks lovely resting on a bookshelf or a mantelpiece between framed photographs. For a friend who has been there through everything, send it with a card or wrap it in tissue, and let Piglet and Pooh do the talking.
