Description: Houston Llew Spiritiles #020Tend HerRetired! A lovely retired floral design by Houston Llew featuring a pretty orchid! This was part of the Spring 2009 release on January 5, 2009 and was retired July 1, 2013. From the artist: Even when the sun goes away for the day, the flower knows it will return. There is no worry in nature that the sun will not rise. It does when it does. In the meantime, the flower holds to the memory of light when the sun sets, and waits to be reunited.It features a most perfect quote:"Deep in their roots all flowers keep the light." - Theodore Roethke From the estate of a collector, this Spiritile is in gently pre-owned condition. Displayed minimally if at all (the back is nearly pristine). Keep in mind that this is an early Spiritile and the manufacturing process has changed a bit over the years. The copper wrap is a bit more narrow on the back. As is usual with older Spiritiles, it has started to lift just slightly along some back edges as the wood block has aged (not enough to re-glue at this point). Of course, crazing and lighter areas are smooth and part of the original production and are not flaws. Please see photos as they are of the actual item you will receive from many different angles! The box is not original to the Spiritile.Photos are of the actual item at auction and are considered part of the item description. Be sure to ask any questions prior to bidding/purchase as all sales are final.Please see my other listings for more decor (including some Houston Llew) and holiday items and collectibles -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Be sure to read the terms of purchase BEFORE bidding Buyer pays $32.99 U.S.* shipping and handling (shipping and handling charges cover the cost of shipping, shipping & packing materials, insurance, and delivery confirmation). PLEASE NOTE: One eBay member asked why shipping is a bit high for these items. The answer is simple: Insurance! The cost of insurance through the shipper accounts for 40-50% of the shipping charge. Payment is due within 24 hours of auction close unless prior arrangements are made. Orders ship within 4 business days of auction close (business days exclude Saturday, Sunday, and postal holidays). I am a one-person eBay buying, listing, sales, and shipping "crew" (which keeps costs down for my buyers!). Although I often ship early within that timeframe, 4 business days allows for travel time on buying trips and for times when I am shipping a large quantity of orders. Please consider if this will work for you before bidding or purchasing. If you have any questions, please inquire prior to bidding! Thanks! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
