| Description |
With double holes looking like wide round eyes and a
plump, tapering body, this delightful little vessel
resembles an owl. What might it originally have
contained to evoke the presence of a night bird? A
Child"s Rattle, A stimulant to keep one alert? A potion
to help conquer insomnia? After all these centuries,
the little bird keeps that information secret; only
however, its considerable charm is very much in
evidence.
