Description
This Christmas decoration is a small stoneware tree on a slim iron stake, made to be pushed into the soil of a pot so the little tree stands up among the leaves. The tree rises in three tiers of soft, folded points, glazed in green, with a star at the very top and raised dots and round baubles scattered across the branches. The whole piece is 6cm across and 24cm tall, and most of that height is the stake, so the tree sits neatly above the rim of a pot without crowding the plant.
We like it best as a way to bring the plants you already keep into the Christmas decorating. Push it into a potted conifer on a sideboard, a fern on the hall table or a houseplant on a windowsill, and an everyday plant becomes part of the festive look with no extra stands or shelf space needed. It suits small homes and flats where surfaces are already full, and it makes a thoughtful little gift to tuck into a wrapped plant or to add to a present for someone who loves their houseplants.
The tree is stoneware with a glaze finish, which gives the clay a smooth, glossy surface that catches the light among the leaves; at its foot, a narrow band of bare stoneware is left unglazed where the tree meets the stake. The stake is iron, thin and stiff, with a pointed end that slips into potting soil. The whole piece weighs 0.11KG, so it adds next to no weight to a small pot. For the best effect, push the stake in until the tree sits just clear of the foliage, so the star stands out against the leaves rather than hiding among them.
