Description
This glass Christmas decoration takes the shape of a long, slender drop, 18.5cm tall and 6cm across at its widest. A narrow neck rises from a rounded white body to a small shiny cap, and below the body it tapers through a turned ring to a fine point, a classic finial outline that reads clearly even from across the room. Around the fullest part runs a raised, glittering garland, draped in swags that loop round the body in tiers, so the decoration carries real texture rather than a flat printed pattern.
Its first home is the Christmas tree. At 18.5cm tall it holds its own on a full-sized tree, and it shows best hung towards the tips of the branches, where its outline stands clear of the needles. Weighing 0.04KG, it is light enough for slimmer branches as well as sturdy ones. Away from the tree, hang it from a garland along the mantelpiece, a window catch or a handful of bare twigs in a vase on a hall table or sideboard. It suits anyone building a tree around white and glass, and because the look is wintry rather than strictly festive, it can stay up from early December well into January.
The decoration is made entirely of glass, with a glossy surface that has a soft sheen. The garland sits on top of the glass, which is why it stands proud of the body, and the shiny cap at the neck carries a small loop with a fine shiny thread tied through it, so it is ready to hang. Glass picks up the light around it, so place it near a string of tree lights, where the curves of the body and the glitter of the garland catch every gleam. For a fuller effect, hang several decorations of a similar height at staggered levels down the tree.

It is made of 100% glass, with a raised, glittering garland running round the body and a small shiny cap at the neck.
How big is it?
It is 18.5cm tall and 6cm across at its widest, a good length for hanging towards the branch tips of a full-sized Christmas tree.
