Description
June, the year they married, the roses climbed so high over the cottage gate in Normandy that guests had to duck to reach the garden. The bride carried a handful cut that morning, still wet with dew, and the groom wore one in his buttonhole until it wilted. Every anniversary since, he has brought her roses. Every anniversary, she has pretended to be astonished. The same rose bush, now gnarled and enormous, still blooms by their front door.
This heart gathers that romance into porcelain. Roses are painted across it in soft, delicate motifs, and the anniversary theme makes it a natural gift for the day you mark your years together. It is sized to hold a ring overnight or a cherished keepsake, perhaps a pressed petal or a tiny note, and it looks quietly lovely on a dressing table. Whether the milestone is the first year or the fortieth, it says that the roses still matter.
