Description

What would a sunrise look like from the bottom of the sea? Perhaps something like this: rays fanning outward from a central point, scalloped like a seashell, glowing with color against the deepest blue imaginable. Fish would gather around it, surely, and the octopus would come out of hiding to see.

This box takes a sunburst form with scalloped edges, and vivid floral motifs bloom across its dark blue ground. The contrast is dramatic, the bright flowers seeming to burn against the night-dark color like lanterns. It makes a statement in a curio cabinet or on a desk, and inside it keeps earrings or a lucky charm. Gift it to someone who loves bold design, perhaps a friend celebrating a new job, a fresh start or the first birthday of a brand-new decade.
