Blue Tit On A Milk Bottle

£170.00

My wife Gillian is absolutely delighted with the blue tit, and it now sits proudly on our kitchen window sill. We get a large number of birds in the garden, including blue tits, longtail tits, great tits, woodpeckers, chaffinch, robins, wrens, wagtails etc but, until now, we've never had a blue tit in the house !

A nostalgic automata from when we had  milk delivered. A carved and painted Blue Tit pecking on a solid wooden beech bottle turned on a wood lathe. 

When you turn the handle the Tit pecks the silver leaf bottle top.  These are  finished in white gesso but can be left in a wooden finish if you prefer. Just let me know when you order one if you would the  wood finish.
