Description
This decorative stone is a smooth oval of ceramic in a soft sage green, with two white paw prints stepping across its top and a small gold heart set in the pad of the leading print. The prints are pressed into the surface and filled in white, so each toe and pad stands out clearly against the speckled matt green, giving the piece the gentle look of a pebble found on a walk. It measures 11cm at its longest, 8.5cm across and 4.5cm deep, a size that sits comfortably in the palm of your hand.
Small and steady, it suits a bookshelf, a windowsill, a desk or a bedside table, anywhere a little reminder of a much-loved pet belongs. We think it makes a warm gift for someone whose dog or cat is very much part of the family, and a kind way to tell a friend you know how much their four-legged companion means to them. It sits happily beside framed photographs or a stack of favourite books without crowding them, and the quiet green works with white, wood, grey and natural tones alike.
The stone is made of ceramic with a soft matt finish, and it rests on its flat underside, where an unglazed ring helps it settle steadily on a shelf or table. Looking after it is simple: dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it gently with a damp cloth and let it dry. As with any ceramic, a spot back from the very edge of a shelf is kindest. For gifting, it needs little more than a sheet of tissue and a card with the pet's name on it, and it is the kind of small, tactile piece people pick up every time they pass.

Frequently Asked
How big is the paw print stone?
It measures 11cm at its longest, 8.5cm across and 4.5cm deep. That is small enough to hold in one hand and to fit on a narrow shelf or windowsill.
What is the stone made of?
It is made of ceramic with a soft matt sage green finish. The two paw prints are set into the surface in white, and one pad holds a small gold heart.
Can it be hung on a wall?
No. It is a freestanding piece that rests on its flat underside, so it belongs on a shelf, desk, windowsill or bedside table rather than on a wall.
How should I clean it?
Dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it gently with a damp cloth and let it dry. That is all a ceramic piece like this needs.
Does it make a good gift for a pet lover?
We think so. The paw prints and little heart say a great deal without any words, and its small size makes it easy to wrap and post with a card.
