Some garden ornaments are decorative; some are functional; this one is properly both. Five steel cups (or solid balls — your choice) emerge on slim stalks from a single base stake, like a small bouquet held still mid-bloom. The balls are quietly handsome, ageing with the rust patina into something traditional and grounded. The cups do something more interesting — catch rainwater, hold a few seeds for visiting birds, sit a tealight on summer evenings, or simply work as small open shapes that change with the light.

From LV Bespoke, our trusted Norfolk maker — supplied in raw steel, designed to weather and rust into a soft patina that lets the piece settle into your garden as if it had always belonged there. Available in two heights and a choice of cups or balls.

Cups or balls — choosing between them

You'll choose one or the other when ordering — five matching cups, or five matching balls. The two designs read very differently:

  • Balls — five solid steel spheres on stalks. Quieter, more traditional, more sculptural. The light plays across the surface as the rust patina develops, giving the piece visible depth from a distance. The right choice for formal gardens, traditional cottage settings, or anywhere you want a calm focal point
  • Cups — five small open hemispheres on stalks. More dynamic, more interactive, slightly more whimsical. The cups can be left empty (lovely as they are), or used to:
    • Catch rainwater — small dishes for thirsty insects, particularly bees and butterflies on hot days
    • Hold birdseed or fat treats — for blue tits, robins and other small visitors
    • Sit a tealight on summer evenings — particularly magical at dusk in a quiet corner of the garden
    • Display small seasonal arrangements — a sprig of holly at Christmas, a posy of daisies in June, a cluster of acorns in autumn

If you can't decide: balls if you want a quieter sculptural feature, cups if you want something the garden's wildlife can actually use.

Two heights, two uses

  • Small — approximately 750mm — knee to thigh height. Sits amongst planting rather than above it. The right scale for tucking into a herbaceous border, in containers, or somewhere the piece is discovered rather than displayed
  • Large — approximately 1150mm — well above most border planting. A proper above-the-foliage focal point that reads from across the garden. The right scale for a back-of-border statement, a courtyard centrepiece, or a marker by a path or sitting spot

The two heights aren't just bigger and smaller versions of the same piece — they do quite different jobs. Worth thinking about whether you want the cluster as a hidden surprise (small) or a clear focal point (large) before choosing.

Specifications

  • Design choice: Cluster of 5 cups or 5 balls (specify when ordering)
  • Heights: Small 750mm, Large 1150mm
  • Material: Raw steel
  • Finish: Designed to develop a natural rust patina outdoors
  • Use: Outdoor garden — amongst planting, in containers, as focal points
  • Made by: LV Bespoke, North Norfolk

Where it looks loveliest

Some thoughts depending on which size and style you've chosen:

  • Small cups version — particularly lovely amongst a wildflower or cottage garden border, where the cups can quietly do double duty as bee water dishes during summer dry spells
  • Small balls version — tucked into a herbaceous border at low level, peeking through hardy geraniums, lady's mantle or low salvias
  • Large cups version — at the back of a border or as a path-side marker, where you can drop a tealight in each cup for evening dinners outside
  • Large balls version — the most formal of the four combinations. Works beautifully in a gravel garden, courtyard, or as a sculptural focal point amongst grasses
  • By a sitting spot or bench — where the cluster gives the eye something to settle on, particularly beautiful on summer evenings if you've gone with the cups + tealight option
  • In a courtyard or paved garden — the rust patina works particularly well against weathered stone, brick or gravel

The rust patina

The steel is supplied raw and designed to develop a natural rust patina over time. Within a few weeks outdoors it'll begin to take on a warm, mottled rust tone; over months and seasons it deepens into something rather lovely — the kind of texture that feels rooted in your garden rather than imposed onto it.

If you'd prefer to slow the rusting process, a clear protective wax or matte lacquer applied on arrival will hold off the patina considerably. Most owners come to love the natural ageing — particularly on the cups version, where the rust contrasts beautifully against any tealight or dried-flower contents.

Other LV Bespoke pieces

If you like this, the wider LV Bespoke range carries the same Norfolk-made character:

  • Cluster of 5 Marbles — a single 750mm stake with five splayable marble-topped stalks, in your choice of colours
  • Cluster of 3 Glass/Marble Garden Features — three separate tall stakes (1500mm) in your choice of glass-sphere finish
  • 3D Orb Decorative Garden Stake — single tall stake with embedded 3D designs
  • Bird & Insect Garden Stakes — silhouette and cast designs in two heights
  • Butterfly Garden Stakes — sculpted butterflies in two heights
  • Bird Feeding Stake — for hanging feeders and water
  • Bespoke Marble Steel Crown — sculptural centrepiece with marble inlays
  • Aeonium Stem Plant Support — small steel rings for keeping aeoniums upright
  • Garden Edging — bar-and-ball Victorian-style panels

The rust patina harmonises across the whole LV Bespoke range — pieces age beautifully alongside each other if you collect more than one over time.

About LV Bespoke

LV Bespoke is a small family business based in North Norfolk, hand-making garden features in their own workshop. They've exhibited at RHS shows and Gardeners' World Live, and were commissioned by the King's estate at Sandringham in 2022 to create a "Sea of Crowns" installation as part of Sandringham In Bloom — properly serious provenance for a small Norfolk maker. Each piece is made by hand in raw steel, designed to do its job quietly, age gracefully, and look like it belongs. We're proud to stock their work; objects with this kind of character don't come from factories, they come from somebody's careful hands.

A small thought: the loveliest garden ornaments earn their place over years. They settle in, the rust deepens, the surrounding planting grows up to meet them, and gradually they become part of the place rather than an addition to it. Cups or balls, tall or short — what you're really choosing here is a small piece of stillness in your garden. Something to find. Something to age alongside.

Interesting take on the genre
Format: Kindle
True rating: 3.25 ⭐️ I enjoyed the fresh take on the genre. The best way I could describe the setting and world is an apocalyptic dystopian version of Farie where vampires, fae, and angles struggle to survive in what is left of the world. It was definitely interesting throwing the academy/hunger games aspect into this world as well. Even though I guessed the final reveal early on in the book, I kept hoping I was wrong, and it would take a surprising turn. While the "plot twists" were a bit predictable to me, I still enjoyed the ride this book took me on. Another downfall for me was the plot holes in the world building... I.E. if society has fallen and the world is in the aftermath of war, how are there trains running around the world? Just to take young adults to the trials to get into the golden city? How is the train maintained, the tracks clear, etc? However, I did enjoy the FMC & MMC and thought they were fleshed out nicely. I also enjoyed the side characters but wish some were developed more like Ashalin (sp?). I do find myself rooting for the MCs to succeed and find happiness together, which is obviously an important aspect for romantasy. Overall, was this an earth-shattering, mind-bending, terrific piece of literature? No. But was it the worst thing I've read this year? Also, no. This book has, to me, the bones of a great read & just needs a bit more to push it from an alright book to a great book. Overall ratings: Plot- 3.5⭐️ World building 3⭐️ Spice 2.5 🌶🌶 Main characters 4 ⭐️ Supporting characters 3.5⭐️

great book
Format: Kindle
I am really excited to meet the author at the book retreat this month. I really enjoyed this world that she built and most of the female main character Huntress is so awesome. She goes through a lot in this book and the ending; wow! I wouldn't have even guessed. I highly recommend everyone to read this book. I have been so lucky this year that almost all the books I have read have been, so far, 5 out 5 stars.

Fallen for the Fallen Angel – A Guilty Pleasure Worth Every Page
Format: Kindle
There’s something deeply irresistible about a dark academia or trial-based setting, a brooding and arrogant fallen angel, and a fierce heroine with enough sass to go toe-to-toe with him. Wings So Wicked is exactly that kind of book—and I devoured it in just a couple of days. To be fair, the plot isn’t groundbreaking. If you’re looking for something fresh and innovative in terms of storyline, this might not be it. But if your reader heart beats faster at the mere mention of enemies-to-lovers, jealousy-fueled banter, magical trials, betrayals, and forbidden tension—you’ll feel right at home. It’s like catnip for those of us with this particular weakness. The chemistry between the leads could have used a slightly slower burn to make the tension sizzle longer, but I still found myself completely invested in their dynamic. There are moments and phrases that feel a bit cheesy or underdeveloped, but honestly? I didn’t care. The vibes were exactly what I wanted. This book isn’t trying to reinvent the genre—it’s here to give readers like me what we crave: high-stakes magical drama, angsty romance, and the thrill of watching a badass girl and her brooding counterpart clash and spark. If that sounds like your kind of story, Wings So Wicked will hit the mark. Here’s hoping Book 2 turns up the heat and keeps the magic alive.

my new favorite book
Format: Kindle
Ok so I never write reviews but this book was so good I felt the need to write this. Firstly your introduced to Huntyr you see her closed off hard core badass than towards the end you see the most subtle change and growth it’s amazing and the enemies to friends to lovers was just perfect, AND THE TWIST AT THE END GOT ME GOOD! You see one spicy scene the whole book but it doesn’t even MATTER BECAUSE THE BOOK WAS THAT GOOD. I’ve read 85 books in 2023-2024 so far and I’m pround to say this is my all time favorite. I’m so excited to read more of Emily Blackwoods books, this was my first time reading one of hers and I’m glad I did because HOLY!! Well done Emily well done

Fast paced romantasy you will not want to put down!
Format: Kindle
4.25 stars! I LOVED this book with similar vibes to Hush Hush, Fourth Wing, and The Serpent and the Wings of Night! It was fast paced with easy world building and will keep you turning the pages late into the night because you will not want to put it down! Huntyr is a fierce bad@ss FMC trained to kill vampyres her entire life. She is sent on a mission to go to the academy and earn her spot into The Golden City. Upon arrival, she is forced to room with the delicious fallen angel, Wolf, who is the only one who knows about her assassin identity. The romance, the plot twists, the secrets revealed, the battles, and the tantalizing training scenes had me hooked! And that ending…. I’m holding my breath in need to know hell! Read if you love: 🪽 Fae, Vampyres, Fallen Angels 🪽 Academy setting with magical trials 🪽 Forced proximity and slow burn 🪽 Rivals to lovers 🪽 Hidden identities and secrets 🪽 Tend your wounds “𝘖𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶.
