“Adorable no matter where you put it”

Ive placed this item on various tables and shelves in the house. It can go anywhere and I have a lot of decor and switch things around from time to time. I think its finally found its home, along with some other objets dart, atop curio cabinet filled with ocean related items, large shells, etc. It does not need to be with other art of the same style. I have not yet used it as a teapot, I keep forgetting.

“Beautifully made”

This is a gorgeous piece. Love the light blue color. My cousin is into tea parties and has a collection of teapots. I figured this would be a great gift for her. This will stand out in her collection. She received this and it was well intact. Nothing was broken. She loves it !

“Sacred Dome of Light”

It was delivered packaged secure and tried to take a picture but unsuccessful but it was perfect everything. The most touching part was the next day with I lit it with a darker room I noticed the lovely Star/Moon/Sun reflected on the wall behind it. It was fabulous and thank you Putu and your mother for the support.

For self use but would give this as a gift at a later time

“Years of enjoyment”

I purchased this wee turtle set years ago and still love it as much as I did when I first opened the box. They are kept near my sink for tiny treasures and always make me smile.
