Blue Heron Collector Ornament by Amos Pewter
$25.00
“While looking very elegant in any of its standing poses, the silhouette of a heron in flight, long neck tucked gracefully into its body and thin legs stretched out behind, is one of my favourite images. Herons are found near fresh and salt water in many parts of North America. They leave the cold climates for the winter. Toward the end of March, I eagerly await their return to our Nova Scotia shorelines.”
Trimmed with a burgundy ribbon, each ornament is ready for hanging on the Christmas tree or in a window. Begin a collecting tradition that will be treasured by generations. 3.75″H.
“The artisans at Amos Pewter are proud to be keepers of time-honoured pewter practices and methods while at the same time offering innovative designs inspired by nature and our beautiful coastal surroundings.
Our artisans carefully ladle hot, free-flowing molten pewter from the melting pot and capture it in a spinning mould formed from a wax sculpture carved in detail to mirror the original hand-drawn design. Once removed from the mould, each piece is carefully hand-finished in a process that ensures excellence in craftsmanship.
Amos Pewter was the first artisan shop in Nova Scotia to become a member of the international Economusee network whose mission is to showcase traditional trades and skills. We are located in open studios in scenic Mahone Bay, on the vibrant Halifax Waterfront, picturesque Peggy’s Cove and at lively Peake’s Quay in Charlottetown, P.E.I. Take part in our hands-on experience where you can finish and personalize your own pewter keepsake an experience, uniquely Amos.”
