Description
Kota is a round glass bauble, 7cm across, made entirely of glass and weighing just 0.021KG. That is a classic tree size: large enough to read clearly from a few steps away, small enough to sit among the branches without pulling them down. The pattern is what makes it. A broad central band carries a looping line that runs right round the ball like a ribbon of handwriting, framed by crisp stripes and fine lines of glitter, with softer bands above and below. The overall effect is multicoloured and cheerful, with a slightly retro feel that suits a traditional Christmas.
Its natural home is the Christmas tree, where it hangs from its own cord and sits happily beside both plain and patterned baubles. Because it is so light, it also works away from the tree: hang it from a few bare or evergreen branches gathered in a jug or vase on a windowsill for a small seasonal display. A window is a good spot, as glass picks up the daylight and the glitter lines catch it. It suits anyone who prefers a colourful, traditional tree to a single-colour scheme, and it is an easy way to add one more piece to a tree you build up year by year.
The ball is glass throughout, topped with a metallic cap that holds a small metal loop, and a fine metallic cord is already tied through it, so it is ready to hang straight away. The looping line and stripes are worked on the surface, with fine lines of glitter between them that give a little sparkle under tree lights. For styling, hang it on an outer branch at eye level with the looping band turned towards the room, and space it between plainer baubles so the pattern has room to show.

Frequently Asked
What is this bauble made of?
The ball is made of glass, which the maker gives as 100% glass. It has a metallic cap at the top and a fine metallic cord for hanging.
How big is the Kota bauble?
It is 7cm across, a classic bauble size that sits comfortably on most Christmas trees and among branches arranged in a jug or vase.
Does it come ready to hang?
Yes. A fine metallic cord is already tied through the loop on the cap, so you can hang it straight onto a branch without a separate hook.
How heavy is it?
It weighs 0.021KG, so it is light enough to hang from thinner branches or bare twigs without weighing them down.
Can I use it somewhere other than the Christmas tree?
Yes. It works well hung from bare or evergreen branches gathered in a jug or vase on a windowsill, where the glass and glitter catch the daylight.
