Owl with a Book Figurine

A beautiful and bright accent that roosts happily wherever you place it in your home. This accent features a hand-painted owl with a book figurine with a very kind expression in the eyes. It is handcrafted of ceramics and finished with a shiny gloss. Put this symbol of wisdom and knowledge on a shelf, mantel or desk and be prepared for compliments when your friends and family discover this feathered friend of yours. The art of ceramic glazing was born somewhere around the Mediterranean, but this style of painting on a white opaque glaze became associated with the wares that the potters of the island of Majorca exported all over the world. In the 18th century, the craft came to the Russian town of Yaroslavl, where the clay is still of the highest quality and the artists - true masters of their craft. Finessed & delicate, these beautiful home accent pieces are truly one-of-a-kind gifts!
