Each observant pear ornament is individually hand sculpted – no molds used! Their vibrant chartreuse coloring, delicate freckling (called lenticels in botany!) and expressive single eyes are sure to bring a certain charm to your holiday tree or even your regular year-round decoration.
These trinkets do not have the ability to be hung, as opposed to the ornament version.
These pears are a design that I developed based on ancient symbolism and roman/pre-roman votives. The pear is a symbol of prosperity and longevity (and commonly associated with females), and the eye is a symbol of protection and watchfulness. I like to think that these odd little fellows might watch over your home, bringing good luck and safety wherever they are.
Hand crafted and fired to cone 7 oxidation in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
