    Beautifully packed

    It arrived wrapped with real care, with a small card about the maker. A lovely touch.

    Lovely, slightly different colour

    The colour is a touch warmer than in the photo, which I actually prefer. Exactly as described otherwise.

    Nice, but smaller than I imagined

    Well made and pretty, but check the size before you order. I should have read the details more carefully.

    Even better in person

    The photos don't do it justice. You can see the hand work in every detail, and it feels made to last.

    A gift that meant something

    I bought this for my mother. Knowing who made it, and where, made it so much more special than anything from a shop.

    Second purchase from this maker

    I loved my first piece so much I came back. Same quality, same care. Will buy again.
