Got these to use as small salt cellars for a long family holiday table setup. They are perfect for that and in between large gatherings are attractive enough to leave out on display. My daughter appropriated one to hold her rings on her bedside table.
I have this one perched on an antique crock (on top of my Baker's Cabinet)... looking up at a blue jay painting that my son bought for me. I love how the two works of art look together. I have purchased many of Mauricio's birds for myself and to give as gifts. All are incredible works of art.
