Victorian Atterbury Co. Milk Glass Hand with Dove Covered Trinket Dish Tray This expertly crafted 12k goldDoves have long been held as a token of purity, peace and love, making them a popular motif in love tokens and marriage symbols in the 19th century. The way the hand is gently holding this tiny creature makes us think of the old proverb "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush," meaning the things you already have are more meaningful than the things you might get. Pair those two together and that makes this one sweet and sentimental little piece.
