The 3D Orb Garden Stake holds a finely-etched three-dimensional image inside a clear crystal-effect sphere, mounted on a slim stake that pushes neatly into the ground or a generous container. By day it catches the light gently, almost like a dewdrop caught on a stem.

Each piece is made by hand in raw steel, designed to do its job quietly, age gracefully, and look like it belongs.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2024 they made the national papers for a rather lovely reason: they won a David-and-Goliath trademark battle against Louis Vuitton, who had objected to their trademark application on the grounds of potential consumer confusion. The UK Intellectual Property Office sided with the Osbornes — the world, sensibly, distinguishes between a French luxury house and a Norfolk garden-ornaments workshop — and the trademark stood. It's the kind of small story that tells you something proper about the people behind the pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach piece is made by hand in raw steel, designed to do its job quietly, age gracefully, and look like it belongs.

They're the ones you find yourself genuinely pleased to see when you go out in the morning — the small consistent characters in a garden that's otherwise always changing. A rusted snail amongst the hostas is the kind of detail that becomes, over years, a quiet member of the household. Not pretending to be high art; just there, slowly, looking properly at home.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"L V Bespoke","offers":[{"title":"Personalised - Up to 12 charachters \/
