Description
This mini ceramic bell ornament brings a quiet, hopeful note to the Christmas tree. Its design is called Hope, and it shows a simple white dove in flight on the front of a soft gold bell, its matt finish glowing gently rather than glittering. The back is left plain gold, so simply turn the dove outwards when you hang it, and a fine white edge runs round the rim. It is a small piece, 7.1cm tall, which makes it easy to tuck among the branches without crowding them.
We like it on the tree, where its warm gold picks up the fairy lights, but it is just as happy away from the branches. Hang it from a door handle, a cupboard knob, a window latch or a hook in the hallway, or tie it into a garland along the mantelpiece. As a Christmas gift it makes a gentle token: a dove for hope, small enough to hand over with a card and kind enough in meaning to be kept and brought out again each December. It suits anyone who likes their decorations simple and meaningful, and it sits happily in both traditional and pared-back schemes.
The bell is ceramic, finished in matt gold with the dove in white. It hangs from a twisted cream cord, knotted at the top into a loop, with a gold bead and a white bead threaded just above the bell. As with any ceramic, handle it with a little care and hang it where it will not be knocked. Dust it with a soft dry cloth now and then, and wrap it in tissue when the decorations come down in January. For a calm festive corner, hang it at eye level near a lamp and let a sprig of greenery and a little gold ribbon do the rest.
