A beautiful hummingbird hovers around a garden of fuschias on this lovely night light by artist Leo Li for Benaya.

New. Handpainted porcelain. 5” tall. Original maroon satin-lined gift box.

This spectacular night light has been very delicately tubelined by experts to create the appearance of cloisonné (see below). This is a fantastic opportunity to own a beautiful piece of craftmanship. Be sure to see our entire selection of Benaya night lights and the fabulous coordinating dress vases.

Meet the Artist: Leo Li was educated as an interior decorator in the early 90s. After a successful career, he found a new passion in the porcelain arts. Leo is both an artist and a ceramicist, creating his works on paper and then molding his art into porcelain.

The technique: There are three steps involved in the production of each exquisite piece, First the imagery is sketched onto the raw bisque and then the slip trailing (raised line work) is carefully applied. Next comes the initial firing, then the painting is done and a second firing takes place. The item is then dipped in a glaze solution. Left to dry for a few hours, it is then put through a third and final firing. The result is a beautiful and rich finish with a brilliant glaze.
