Roly Poly Ceramic Tortoise
£40.00
This ceramic pottery tortoise (or maybe he’s a turtle?) is such a character! … He is part of my ‘roly-poly’ animal collection – a round, puffed out body with a beautifully glazed shell and the loveliest dark eyes, so much character!
The tortoise has a detailed head on a round body, which has been hand-modelled and glazed in a combination of matt and shiny glazes in several colours. The eyes are dark & shiny with a bit of a twinkle!
The pig is made from strong stoneware clay and so can be displayed indoors or outdoors in any weather, as it is frost-proof and sun-proof.
It stands 14cm tall to the top of its head and 10cm across the body.

This ceramic tortoise would make an unusual gift for many different people
– anyone who loves tortoises or turtles
– a couple celebrating their 20th anniversary – traditionally marked by giving of china or pottery gifts
– people who love the quirky & unusual
… or keep it for yourself!
It is handmade by me in Wales and fired to a high temperature to make it completely weather-proof and to allow it to be left outdoors in all weathers without risk of cracking, flaking or discolouring.
