Description
This hummingbird trinket box is a small metal bird with a lid that lifts to reveal a hidden space for the tiniest treasures. Its body is mostly green, from the crown of the head along the back to the upswept tail, with a coral pink throat, a white breast and dark blue and black tones through the folded wings. Fine gold-coloured lines trace the feathers, a slender gold-coloured beak points forward, and tiny sparkling green studs dot the shoulder and tail. It measures 6.2cm wide, 3.7cm high and 2.6cm deep, so it sits neatly in the palm of your hand.
Because it is so compact, it is happiest where it can be seen up close: on a dressing table, a bedside table, a desk or a sitting room shelf. Inside there is just enough room for a ring, a pair of stud earrings or a spare button, the kind of small things that otherwise go missing. With the lid closed it is simply a charming ornament, a bright splash of green that brings a little of the garden indoors all year round.
The box is made from metal. The upper body and tail form the lid, which opens on a small hinge to show a cream interior, and small gold-coloured feet beneath keep the bird steady on a flat surface. The glossy colours are framed by the gold-coloured trim, which picks out every feather. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from water. We like it best on its own, where the colours can be enjoyed, or beside a favourite framed photograph; either way it makes a lovely little gift that needs only a ribbon and a card.
