This stunning Hummingbird Luminary features a vibrantly hued, hand-etched flower with all of its pollinating power and a gorgeously etched and hand-painted hummingbird with fabulously detailed feathers on a brilliantly blue background.  Using incredible, hand-crafted traditional ceramic-making skills, this luminary will add a unique accessory in your home. 

 

Decorate your home or children's bedroom with a delightfully nature-themed accent piece, enjoy a cup of tea with a twinkling light on your porch, or sit with a loved one over a delicious meal. You'll love the soft glow of a tealight candle as it shines through the carved star openings in this piece of ceramic artwork.

 

Handcrafted in a family workshop in the community of San Juan de Oriente, Nicaragua, this ceramic luminary features graceful designs that are etched by hand using a sharpened bicycle spoke. Each luminary is created out of local clay, turned on a kick wheel, hand-painted, and wood-fired in a beehive-shaped kiln.

 

Light an aromatherapy tea light candle, a string of electric lights, or a battery-powered tea light to bring about a sense of calm.  When you invite one of these masterfully created ceramic luminaries into your home or when you share it as a gift, you are also offering a place to share the stories of the artisans in Nicaragua whose livelihoods and futures depend upon your thoughtfulness.
 


Measures 6" wide x 7" tall.

For use with real burning tea light candle, string of electric lights or battery operated tea light (not included).

  • From Women of the Cloud Forest:

       "These unique luminaries are handcrafted by our talented artisan partner, Duilio Jimenez, in Nicaragua. They are made out of local clay, turned on a kick-wheel, sun-dried, hand-painted, and finally fired in a bee-hived shaped wood kiln. The process is amazing and the final product will surely become a family treasure."
