Willow Tree Figurines first came out in 2000 and have been one of the best selling figurine ranges we do. The success is in the emotional engagement of each figure. Expression is revealed through subtle gestures only, a tilt of the head, placement of hands or a turn of the body. Simplicity of form and the absence of facial features signify Willow Tree Figures. Susan Lordi hand carves each original sculpture from which moulds are made. Careful attention to detail with each figurine sending an emotional message which can be interpreted by the giver and receiver as they wish. The Grateful figure celebrates the true gratitude for a friendship or a special thank you.
