Dark rose in a bottle
Inside a petite glass bottle sealed with a cork lid lies a handcrafted black rose, its delicate petals capturing the allure of the dark.
Nestled among intricate polymer clay leaves and real preserved moss, a small bird vertebra rests quietly at the back, a secret whisper of the cycle of life and nature's quiet mysteries.
Perfect as a conversation piece, a gift for a lover of the macabre, or a token for those who find beauty in the unseen, this piece evokes the elegance of folklore and the natural world.
Each bloom is carefully sculpted by hand, ensuring that no two pieces are exactly alike and the bone is ethically sourced.
Glass bottle is 7cm tall
