Description
This glass light bulb ornament brings a cheerful, slightly retro shape to the tree. The rounded body tapers to a soft point, just like the big old bulbs on a vintage string of lights, and it comes in a rich red. On top sits a gold-coloured cap with ridges that mimic a screw fitting, finished with a small ring for hanging. At 12cm, it is a generous size for a hanging decoration, so it holds its own among smaller baubles and reads clearly from across the room. The glass catches the light from the tree.
We like it hung in front of a string of fairy lights, where the red glass seems to glow along with them. It looks just as good on a branch arrangement, a garland along the mantelpiece or a wreath on an inside door, wherever a splash of red will lift the greenery. The bulb shape is a little bit of fun, so it suits a home that likes its decorations with a sense of humour, and it sits happily alongside traditional baubles as well as brighter, more playful schemes. It also makes a cheerful small gift to hand over when the tree goes up.
The body is made of glass, so treat it as you would any glass bauble: hang it from a branch strong enough to hold it steady, and away from busy corners where it might be knocked. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe the glass with a slightly damp cloth if it needs more. When the decorations come down, wrap it in tissue paper and pack it in a small box on its own so the cap and glass stay protected until it goes back on the tree. Paired with plain red or gold baubles, it brings a touch of wit to a classic scheme.
