Description
This hummingbird trinket box shows a little green bird hovering at a pink-and-white lily, its long beak dipped into the flower as though caught mid-sip. It is made of metal and finished in glossy green, from the fine feather detail on the head and wings to the tall leaves rising from a rocky base. The bird has a soft white breast and an orange throat, its wing tips darken to brown, and tiny clear sparkling studs run across the crown, the wings and the gold-coloured rim of the lid, with pink ones edging the lily petals. It stands 14cm tall, 14cm across and 8cm deep.
The bird's back and wings form a hinged lid that lifts away to reveal a white inside, a small hiding place for a ring, a pair of earrings or a folded note. We think it looks lovely on a dressing table, a bedside table or a mantelpiece among family photographs, where the lily and the outstretched wings can be admired from every side. Because it stands on its own base, it needs no wall and no fixing, and it can move from room to room whenever you fancy a change.
As a metal piece with a glossy coloured finish and small sparkling studs, it is happiest treated as an ornament that opens rather than a box for daily rummaging. Lift the lid gently by the rim rather than by the wing tips or the flower, and close it softly so the hinge stays neat. To keep the colours bright, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth, or a small soft brush that reaches easily between the leaves and feathers, and keep it away from water and harsh cleaners. For a pretty display, set it beside a small vase of fresh flowers, or wrap it in tissue as a gift with a ring tucked inside.
