The Design of this Ceramic handcrafted swallow mini illustrated with flowers is inspired by the typical crafts of the ’50s in Spain and Portugal.

This swallows is illustrated by hand by us. Each swallow is unique. No two are alike. This beautiful project is made between a traditional ceramist and us illustrating each swallow.

These beautiful ceramic handcrafted swallows have decorated for decades the facades and interiors of the houses. This beautiful story inspired us in our search for traditional pottery, which we found in the south of Spain. We adapted some aspects and created a symbiosis between traditional and contemporary design. With a great symbolism of protection and good luck at home, since they return every spring to their place of birth.

Just some background to the symbolic of swallows: 

For ancient Greeks, the swallows birds represented their goddess of love, namely, Aphrodite. The Greeks believed that swallows have the ability to bring love and happiness to a person.  Lastly, for modern Christians, these birds mean rebirth or new beginnings. No matter the cultural meaning of these birds is, one can conclude that they symbolize a form of hope. This may be the reason why these birds are usually protected and sympathized in the vast majority of cultures.

Attention:

Every swallow is handmade and has slight differences. The photos you see here can are slightly different to the swallows you will receive with your order.
