Shippo Ware Owl Brooch (Medium, Vertical, Green)

***A vibrantly colored owl, showcasing the beautiful luster and hues unique to Shippo ware!** This design by Uncle Z is a departure from traditional Shippo ware, offering a modern and warm aesthetic. Owls are considered auspicious creatures, believed to bring happiness. They are often associated with good fortune, scholarly success, and prosperous business. We have vividly brought this symbol to life using the 'musen' (wireless) Shippo technique. The belly area features a captivating blend of colorful glazes and aurora glass, creating a fantastical, storybook-like scene. A delicate gold outline accentuates the owl's form, making it resemble a gemstone. From cutting the copper plate and shaping it by hand to applying the enamel and firing it, every step is carefully executed by our seasoned artisans. This hands-on approach means that each brooch has subtle variations in color and expression, making every piece unique and a true charm of Shippo craftsmanship. It serves as a delightful accent to simple dresses or knitwear, and is also perfect for securing scarves. The brooch features a secure, lockable clasp to ensure it stays in place. We also offer personalization with a name, initial, or message on the back. Additionally, you can opt to add a fitting to use it as a pendant as well. Please consult with us upon purchase. --- The photos shown are of a sample piece. This item is made to order. Size: Width 25mm × Depth 15mm × Height 53mm Weight: Approx. 8g
