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.
