With this hot air balloon, a fourth wise man tried to reach the cave of Jesus but did not arrive in time for his birth. The Holy Child had already fled to Egypt. So the rubies he had brought for him are still here, on this hot air balloon. - Marcello Jori

Natalie B. ★★★★★

The rubies are such a meaningful detail, and the dish's shape really makes the story come alive on my shelf. I've already had a few guests ask about it, and it sparks such a fun conversation piece.

Jason Y. ★★★★★

I love the whimsical story behind this dish—it makes the hot air balloon feel like a hidden treasure. The balloon's shape is more intricate than I expected, and it sits perfectly on my table as a conversation starter.

Olivia ★★★★★

The little ruby detail on this piece is what sold me — it catches the light beautifully on my shelf. Knowing the story behind the fourth wise man makes it feel like more than just a decoration. It's become my favorite thing to explain when guests ask about it.
