Description
This hand painted kingfisher trinket box perches on a little stump above a base of bright yellow flowers, keeping a few small treasures close at hand. The bird is painted in rich blue and teal across its head, back and wings, with a warm orange breast, a white patch at the cheek and a long bronze toned beak. Tiny clear stones catch the light along the wing, and a fine gold toned edge traces the line where the lid meets the body. Made of metal alloy, it stands 7cm tall and measures 4cm wide and 4cm deep, small enough to rest in the palm of your hand.
Lift the head and back of the kingfisher on its hinge and the box opens to a cream interior, a small hollow for a tiny keepsake you would rather tuck away. Closed, it simply looks like a bird ornament, so it sits happily on a dressing table, a bedside table or a bookshelf without looking like storage at all. The blues and oranges suit a room with natural colours, painted woodwork or other wildlife pieces, and the yellow flowers at its feet bring a cheerful lift to a quiet corner. We like it near a window, where daylight picks out the painted feathers and the sparkle on the wing.
The body is metal alloy and hand painted, with the hinge set at the back so the lid lifts cleanly and settles back into place along its gold toned rim. The base is wide and flat, giving the little bird a steady footing on a shelf. To keep the paint bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth and avoid water and household sprays. Tuck a small surprise inside before you wrap it, and the gift is opened twice.
