Sitting Goose Piata

This goose piata sits rather than stands, 17 inches of white crepe paper with a tucked body and a calm, storybook posture. The seated shape is the useful part: it rests flat on a table as a centerpiece instead of needing a hook, so it works for a shower where nobody is breaking anything. It is a handmade piata rather than a printed one, layered by hand over a corrugated cardboard frame in paper mache and crepe paper, which is what gives the surface its depth.

Perfect for: farm and barnyard parties, baby showers, spring birthdays, goose and storybook themes, Easter tables, and first birthdays.

It arrives empty. Used as decor it needs nothing inside at all. If you do plan to break it, fill it about two thirds with wrapped sweets or small favors so it keeps its shape while it is on display.

Set it at the centre of the table with greenery around the base. Our piatas include a pink version of the same shape.
