Small Observations

This ongoing collaboration with sculptor Liz McAuliffe brings together her finely detailed porcelain leaves and seed pods with Isla Osborne’s hand-blown glass domes.

This series of 10 works celebrates the quiet beauty of natural forms, inviting us to pause and truly see what is often overlooked. Together, they’ve created pieces that feel like contemporary heirlooms, echoing the curiosity and care of Victorian-era collectors.

Each dome becomes a moment of stillness, a small delicate encounter with everyday taonga.
