These beautiful ceramic handcrafted swallows have decorated for decades the facades and interiors of the houses.

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.
