Description
This crackle glass vase wears a generous spray of holly over a frosted white surface, made to bring a little Christmas to a table, shelf or windowsill. The glass has a fine crackle texture that catches the light like frost on a winter window, and against it sit glossy green holly leaves traced with gold veins, clusters of red berries tipped with white like a dusting of snow, and a curling red ribbon edged in gold. White snowflakes drift around the sides. It stands 18.2cm tall and 12.3cm across, with a tapered shape that is wider at the base and narrows gently towards the mouth.
Its size suits a mantelpiece, a hall console, a sideboard or the centre of the dining table, where it sits comfortably without crowding the place settings. Fill it with sprigs of pine, ivy or other winter greenery for a quick seasonal arrangement, or with a simple bunch of white flowers and let the holly design do the talking. It works on its own too, as a decorative piece on a windowsill where daylight shows off the frosted glass. As a Christmas gift it is easy to give and easy to place, and it can come out year after year with the rest of the decorations.
The vase is made of glass, and the holly leaves and berries stand slightly proud of the frosted surface, giving the design a gentle texture under the fingers. To keep it looking its best, wipe the outside with a soft, damp cloth and dry it straight away, and avoid scouring pads or harsh cleaners that could catch the raised details. Store it wrapped in tissue when the season ends. For an easy finish, we like it with a few stems of greenery beside a garland on the mantelpiece, or wrapped in plain paper with a red ribbon as a festive gift that needs little else.
