With elements from three of Merian’s cherished artworks, this medium-sized pewter vase presents a stunning crested lapwing alongside a branch of Citrus aurantium (bitter orange). Two Morpho Menelaus butterflies—one with wings open, revealing a brilliant iridescent blue in the original painting, and the other with wings closed, displaying earthy brown tones—decorate the piece. The vase itself remains in pewter, with a beautiful metallic sheen, bringing an artistic touch to any room.
