Faerie Isle (in cloche jar)

THE FAERIE ISLE

Faerie trees and forts can be found abundantly scattered across the hillsides and fields of Ireland, functioning as sites of both fear and reverence. Farmers will work around Faerie trees rather than cut them down, and even modern infrastructure and roads have been rerouted so as not to incur the wrath of the Wee Folk. Here, the Fae are surrounded by their magik Faerie Ring, encircled by protective waters, and hidden from sight beneath their beloved Hawthorn tree. A tiny bridge affords them passage to the greater world, as their intricate pathway curves upward around the hillside to the safety of their fortress within. Their little kingdom is protected by glass, shielding them from the Mortal Realm.

This sculpted/handcrafted piece is created with natural Donegal ceramic clay and features an intricate Faerie tree constructed by hand from selected sprigs of Donegal windbrush, sourced from the summits of the Urris Hills at Leenankeel. Each tree contains a genuine sprig of Hawthorn for authenticity. "If you see a fairy ring, in a field of grass. Very lightly step around, tiptoe as you pass!"
