If you or someone you love is a butterfly lover, this beautiful Mini Monarch Luminary is a must-have.  With hand-etched, colorful flowers and hand-painted shading on this sweet butterfly's body using hand-crafted traditional ceramic-making skills, this luminary will add a unique accent to your home.  Decorate with a nature or butterfly theme in a nursery or a child's bedroom, enjoy a cup of tea with a twinkling light on your porch, or sit with a loved one over a delicious meal. You'll love the soft glow of a tealight candle as it shines through the carved star openings in this piece of ceramic artwork.
 
Handcrafted in a family workshop in the community of San Juan de Oriente, Nicaragua, this ceramic luminary features graceful designs that are etched by hand using a sharpened bicycle spoke. Each luminary is created out of local clay, turned on a kick wheel, hand-painted, and wood-fired in a beehive-shaped kiln.
 
Light an aromatherapy tea light candle, a string of electric lights, or a battery-powered tea light to bring about a sense of calm.  When you invite one of these masterfully created ceramic luminaries into your home or when you share it as a gift, you are also offering a place to share the stories of the artisans in Nicaragua whose livelihoods and futures depend upon your thoughtfulness.
