Blue Morpho Butterfly Luminary

Blue morpho caterpillars are reddish brown with green patches. They are covered with small hairs that are poisonous to their predators and can even cause irritation to humans if we touch them.

This Blue Morpho Butterfly Luminary is handcrafted in a family workshop in the community of San Juan de Oriente, Nicaragua. Each ceramic luminary is created from local clay, turned on a kick wheel, and hand-painted. The artisan uses a sharpened bicycle spoke to carve and etch the design into the clay. Finally, it is fired in a wood-burning kiln. For use with tea light candles, fairy lights, or electric lights. Approximate size: 4" wide x 5" high. Fair Trade.
