Description
The Landjut hen is a small ceramic ornament with plenty of character. Her rounded, egg-shaped body has a glossy white finish, with black spots scattered around the base, each one marked with fine grey lines. A pair of round black wire glasses sits across her face, just above the beak, and folded wire legs poke out at the front as if she has just settled down for a rest. Little gold touches edge the comb and the beak, tiny gold flecks sit across the white and there is a faint blush of pink on her cheeks. She stands 16cm tall and 12cm across, so she fits comfortably on a bookshelf, a windowsill or a side table without crowding it.
She is an indoor piece, and she suits the places where people actually linger: a kitchen dresser, a hallway console, a desk or a reading nook. The white, black and gold colours sit happily within a monochrome scheme and bring a little humour to a calm, neutral room, while the glasses make her an easy gift for a keen reader, a teacher or anyone who keeps hens. We like her grouped with a stack of books or a trailing plant, where her small round face can peek out from the arrangement.
She weighs 0.39KG, so she is light enough to move from shelf to table whenever you rearrange a room. The smooth, glossy surface makes dusting easy with a soft dry cloth. Ceramic can chip if it is knocked or dropped, so lift her by the body rather than by the wire glasses or legs. A steady, level spot well back from the edge of a shelf suits her best.
