Owl Collectors

Owl lovers are often book lovers, night owls, teachers or simply people who appreciate a creature that can look extremely wise while doing absolutely nothing. If that sounds like someone you know, a hand-painted Limoges owl is a gift that will be admired for years. Every box is hinged, painted by hand in France and arrives gift-boxed, ready for graduations, birthdays, teacher thank-yous or the friend who stays up far too late reading.

Whooo Goes There?

Owls here come in all moods. A great owl surveys the world from a blue base, a tiny owl perches on green, and two owls huddle together like old friends sharing gossip. One pair even has a snowy little mouse for company at Christmas. Some owls appear on stumps among the leaves, and one wise bird pops out of an egg. For autumn, a floral witch hat hides a removable owl, the most charming Halloween surprise imaginable. Open any lid for a secret hollow, just right for a ring or a note.

A Parliament on Your Shelf

A group of owls is called a parliament, which makes collecting them feel delightfully official. Owl collections tend to grow fast, since owls show up as gifts for graduations, retirements and every bookish birthday. Display them on a bookshelf among the hardcovers, perched on a mantel in autumn or tucked into a window nook where they can keep watch over the night. Mix big and small owls so the lineup feels like a family portrait.

Owls love a spooky season, so peek at Halloween. They also share the forest with Woodland Critters, and more feathered friends wait in Birds.
