Whale Ceramic Ornament
Best personalized keepsake for coastal vacationers and thoughtful gift givers.
This custom whale silhouette ornament is a unique keepsake, handmade from locally sourced clay in a dedicated studio. Each piece undergoes a meticulous process: hand-cut, sculpted, stamped, slowly dried, and then kiln-fired. Following the initial firing, it is carefully hand-painted with a lead-free, safe glaze and fired a second time. It arrives packaged in a Chrissy Ann Ceramics made in the USA recycled gift box, making it an ideal souvenir or gift. Supporting this piece means supporting a small, woman-owned business dedicated to crafting items filled with love.
