There is something deeply grounding about bringing the garden indoors when the mercury drops. This isn't your standard mass-produced bauble; it’s a nod to mid-century naturalist art, featuring a meticulously rendered oriole nestled among clusters of winter berries and holly. The hand-applied pigments give it a textured, soulful quality that machine printing just can't mimic. Whether it’s commanding attention on a classic evergreen bough or sitting regally on a brass stand in a sunlit study, this bulb acts as a functional relic of late-century craftsmanship. It’s got just enough patina to feel storied, yet enough "statement" scale to hold its own in a modern home.
This item is vintage, over 35 years old. All measurements are close but approximate. I measure in quarter inches.
