Blue Monarch Butterfly Bookends

These beautiful butterfly bookends are handmade using the copper foil (or Tiffany) technique from a selection of iridescent royal blue, iridescent wispy blue and black glass. The white wing details are meticulously hand painted using enamel paints that are then fired on to the glass for a permanent finish. Each side is mounted into a lacquered wood frame.
 
Each bookend measures approximately 22cm tall by 18.5cm wide by 9cm deep when mounted
Please Note
The glass will be removed from the frame for shipping purposes to avoid any damage. 
The pieces will be labelled to go with their correct wooden frame as each mount is custom fitted. Simply slide in the top of the butterfly first before gently pushing the bottom edge in for a snug fit.
 
Each piece of glass is hand-cut, grinded and foiled before soldering together. This is then thoroughly cleaned and dried before waxing with Carnauba Wax and polishing to a shiny finish!
 
All orders are packaged using recyclable and reused materials and include a care guide for new customers. 
 
How To Care For Your Stained Glass
Your stained glass piece can be maintained by wiping gently with a microfibre cloth. Over time some oxidisation can occur on your piece, this can be lightly brushed away using a soft bristle brush. If needed, pieces can be washed using a small amount of washing up liquid and warm water. Never submerge your piece and dry thoroughly. To minimise oxidisation, polish and buff your stained glass using carnauba wax, this will keep it looking shiny and new!
CAUTION
This product contains lead solder. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Wash hands after handling. Always hang from a sturdy hook- avoid suction cup hangers
