The Conker & the Snail

£215.00
sold out

£215.00

A beautiful gilded conker with a gilded snail. This year I collected conkers with my sister and when I got home there was a little snail amongst my hoard. It inspired me to include a snail from my collection made in Scotland while on a residency. There will be more to follow.

Made to turn in the palm of your hand.

Inspired by a lifetime of collecting them, it is the perfect gift for someone who never comes home from a walk with empty pockets.

Cast from the original foraged in Newcastle upon Tyne.

Unique

Signed

The finer details

Medium: Cast glass gilded with 23.5 carat gold leaf. The polished base is like a little window that allows you to see inside the conker.

Made using clear glass from a family run business in the Czech Republic.

Created using the lost wax technique made famous during Renaissance times - no snails were harmed in the making of this piece!

Dimensions: H 5cm x W 6cm x D 4 cm

Shipping: Postage is FREE to addresses in the UK.

Do message me if you require international shipping.
