Robin Spoon Rest and Jewellery Dish by DreamVesselArt

This sweet little robin dish can be used as a spoon rest next to your coffee mug or as a jewellery dish to keep beside the sink to hold your rings as you wash up. Robin’s are a symbol of joy, contentment, rejuvenation, bright future and happiness. In the spiritual community, it is believed that robins are a sign that your deceased loved one is still with you. As the saying goes, “Robins appear when loved ones are near”. Made out of air dry clay, it has been coated and varnished to make it waterproof. Made in Dublin, Ireland by DreamVesselArt, it can also be personalised with a message on the back of it.
