Chóp atisô Gathered Garden

The ceramic detailing on this artichoke finial is so crisp it looks like it was carved from a real one. I’ve got it on the bookshelf and it catches the light beautifully, though it’s almost too pretty to hide behind my stack of novels.

It’s genuinely heavier and more substantial than I expected, and the hand-painted detailing on the leaves looks almost lifelike on my bookshelf. The handmade Italian craftsmanship really shows in the finish.

The ceramic texture is so smooth and the hand-painted detail on the leaves actually catches the light differently depending on where it sits. I’ve had it on the mantel for a week and keep catching myself staring at it.
