NZ Made Tui Bird Glass Plate and Stand

This Made Tui Bird Glass Plate is part of a New Zealand Stamp Design range. The Stamped Range pays tribute to New Zealand's past, highlighting some of our national treasures and immortalising them in glass.

The Tui is New Zealand's favourite song bird. Easily identified by the striking white tuft of feathers on it's chest, it is also called the parson bird. The Tui is a great mimic, able to copy the sounds of other birds, even humans! Found throughout NZ, the Tui is usually seen in trees feasting on native flower nectars and fruits.

This Kiwi made, hand crafted, piece of glass artwork starts off as a plain piece of 5mm glass. It is cut to size (20cm x 20cm) and screen printed with it's intricate design. The piece is then fired in a kiln at over 800 deg Celsius, where it fuses the glass print into the surface and takes on it's stippled transparent finish.

Included in the box is a stand, designed to complement the Tui glass, ensuring that your plate is displayed in the grandeur it deserves.

We deeply appreciate your support for authentic New Zealand-made products. By choosing this artwork, you are not just buying a decorative item, but a slice of our culture, our stories, and our dedication to preserving the beauty of Aotearoa.

To maintain its elegance, please hand wash only.
