Newt ornament
Newt ornament
The Newt Art Ornament is a tribute to the small, the damp, and the delightfully strange. While others go for the usual birds and deer, the truly discerning collector knows that the real magic happens at the edge of the pond.
For the Quirky & The Curious: This isn't just a decoration; it’s a conversation starter for people who prefer their art with a bit of "character."
The Underrated Amphibian: Newts are the unsung heroes of the wetlands. This high-relief porcelain ornament captures the sleek, curving form of this elusive creature, making it the perfect gift for biology buffs, pond-watchers, and anyone who’s ever been "turned into a newt" (and got better).
Handmade Artistry: Forget mass-produced plastic. Each newt is pressed from a hand-sculpted design and finished with signature glazes that give it a life-like, glassy sheen. It’s "bespoke swamp chic" at its finest.
Unconventional Display: While he’ll happily inhabit a Christmas tree, this newt is designed for year-round life. Hang him in a window, near a terrarium, or on a kitchen hook to add a dash of whimsical nature to your daily routine.
Premium Quality, No "Newt" Required: Crafted in our Michigan studio from high-fired porcelain, this ornament is as durable as it is charming. It’s a museum-quality keepsake for those who walk the path less traveled (and usually muddy).
Celebrate the weird and wonderful side of nature with a piece of handmade Michigan art that’s as unique as you are.
Our 3x3” ornaments are full of detail just like our larger tiles. The blue matte glaze is sure to brighten your tree. Each ornament comes boxed, ready to hang, and ready to gift!
