The Butterfly Collector - Sea Treasure Frame

 The Butterfly Collector

Handcrafted from genuine sea glass and sea pottery, The Butterfly Collector is a celebration of rare discoveries and treasured moments along the shore. Soft shades of cornflower blue, sky blue, and cobalt mingle with warm sunflower yellow, honey, and sandy tan, creating a palette that feels like a golden summer day beside the sea.

At the heart of the piece rests a striking blue-and-yellow floral pottery shard, the inspiration for the entire composition. Nearby, a large piece of luminous cornflower sea glass draws the eye, its smooth, frosted surface glowing like a piece of captured sky. Scattered throughout are beautiful fragments of antique pottery, including two distinctive pieces of vintage mochaware, each carrying its own history and character.

One of the most special treasures is a delicate blue butterfly pottery shard. Rare and unforgettable, it marks only the second time this exact little butterfly has been found during years of beachcombing. Like a cherished specimen in a collector's cabinet, it serves as a reminder that the shoreline still holds surprises for those patient enough to search.

Thoughtfully arranged and gathered piece by piece from the sea, The Butterfly Collector captures the magic of discovery, the beauty of forgotten fragments, and the joy of finding something extraordinary when you least expect it. 🦋💙💛🌊

It's wintertime here in Prince Edward Island so my newly made sea treasure frames are filled with a combination of new and old finds. My beach-combing collection goes back more than 20 years and even longer for my Mom. I like to rummage through her collection and oftentimes I find shards from the same vessel found years apart.

This frame is filled with real hand-collected sea treasures, not a print.

These colours are considered a rare found objects and each frame has the equivalent of months of collecting along the ocean coast. 

Great gift idea! Perfect for the cottage or sea-themed wedding.

Please note* some of the shards have been smoothed mainly to remove rust/dirt and the odd sharp edge. This allows the colours and patterns to pop!

Sea Glass Origins: Genuine sea glass and sea pottery originate from fragments of broken bottles, tableware, or even shipwrecks, which are gradually tumbled by the ocean over many years. This natural process can take between 50 to 100 years, during which the fragments are smoothed into their characteristic rounded shapes and the glass acquires a distinctive frosted appearance, resulting from the gradual erosion of its original sheen.

The sea treasures are real therefore they may have minor imperfections and a slightly irregular shape.
