Description
These exquisite handmade and hand-painted ceramic baubles are adorned with the vibrant and striking Flame Lily, Zimbabwe’s national flower, an exotic bloom native to tropical regions of Africa and Asia. Each bauble is meticulously decorated with vibrant orange-red petals edged in yellow, giving it a flame-like appearance. The distinctive style of each artist brings these baubles to life, transforming them into little masterpieces. What makes these baubles even more special is that each one is individually signed by an independent artist from The Hippo Studio. This personal touch ensures that every bauble is one-of-a-kind, carrying the signature and style of the artist who created it. From the crafting of the ceramic baubles by the potters to the decorators, kiln packers, glazers, and the rest of the team, everyone works diligently to ensure every bauble is perfect.
A handpainted ceramic Flame Lily flower bauble is a stunning piece of art that will be cherished by garden enthusiasts. For someone from Zimbabwe, it serves as a beautiful reminder of their heritage and national pride, making it a meaningful cultural symbol. It is lovely to display on a shelf, mantelpiece, or in a decorative bowl, adding a touch of elegance to your home decor.
