About this product

What catches the eye
  • The lid carries the Hop Hare sun and hare motif in enamel, warm, folk-art in character, with the kind of detail that rewards a closer look.
  • Mango wood has a naturally varied grain, so the base and sides show gentle tonal shifts from piece to piece.
  • The medium size sits comfortably on a bedside table or dressing table without dominating the surface.
  • At 327 g, it has a satisfying weight in the hand, solid without being heavy.
Mango wood and enamel

The box is made from mango wood, a material widely used in Indian craft for its workability and close, even grain. Mango is a fast-growing timber, which makes it a more sustainable choice than slower-growing hardwoods. The enamel decoration on the lid is applied separately, giving the surface its depth of colour and a slightly raised, tactile quality.

Keeping it well

Wipe the wood with a dry or barely damp cloth; avoid prolonged moisture, which can cause the grain to lift over time. The enamel surface is durable but benefits from gentle handling, avoid abrasive cloths on the lid. Keep it away from direct heat sources, which can dry out the wood.

The Hop Hare range

Hop Hare is a design range drawing on folk symbolism, hares, suns, moons, and botanical forms that appear across European and Central Asian decorative traditions. The hare in particular carries a long history as a symbol of intuition and the turning of seasons, appearing in medieval church carvings, Persian manuscripts, and British folklore alike. The sun motif here pairs with it in the spirit of that tradition: warmth, cycles, and the quiet magic of everyday objects.

Size and details

The box weighs 327 g. It is a medium square format, substantial enough to hold a small collection of rings, earrings, or keepsakes, without taking up the footprint of a full jewellery box. Made in India.

A considered gift

It suits someone who appreciates folk art, or the Hop Hare aesthetic. A good choice for a birthday, a housewarming, or as a small gift for someone who likes their everyday things to carry a little meaning.

    Brilliant-looking boxes.

    These caught my eye as I was wanting a small storage box, but with a bit of style to it. These look just like, 'pirate' style boxes which I love. The wood is solid and well treated, the rivets and straps are real (they don't actually serve a strapping purpose but look great, the hinge is good with a supporting bar to s

    Beautiful but clasps are delicate

    These boxes are beautiful. There's a tiny padlock. I use the large box for medication and it's perfectly sized to hold them. The smaller one I use for keys and bits and bobs. They really are beautiful. The smaller box's clasp has broken but it's not worth the hassle of returning.

    Good quality, more on the medium side.

    Great gift set nice box and ribbon, card and pull tissue paper included. Box is more on the medium side, not very deep so wouldn't be able to stack multiple things to keep in mind. But nice presentation and nice box. Good quality.
