We are pleased with these. We first set our eyes on them at the Spring Fair In Birmingham ( yes, we know ….several months ago ) and they have immediately starting selling well having only arrived at the end of August. They are made of resin but painted silver and we have to say they are all lovely! Unfortunately likely to sell out by Christmas so worth ordering early. We also have “real” bursa bulbas on our website but are very happy with these resin ones. Our other “picks” are the lobsters and the crabs. The resin silver trumpet triton is a cracker!
