Wendt & Kühn Blumenkinder - Boy with Carnation

I have to confess that the Carnation has not been m favourite flower in the past. But now that I see it as created by Wendt und Kühn I've changed my tune! These two little Carnation blooms on a slender stem are a particularly gorgeous colour. The little boy seems to be looking up at the flowers in awe!

Handcrafted in Germany with an astonishing amount of detail, Wendt & Kühn  Blumenkinder or Blossom Children radiate the pure innocence of childhood. When designing them in the early 1900's, founder Grete Wendt incorporated the very essence of all her creations: our universal longing for goodness and a sense of security. With their cheery joyfulness, each of her figurines brings us one step closer to this very special spirit.
