Description
This teardrop Christmas tree decoration is made from heavy glass with a shiny silver finish, and it brings a soft gleam to the branches. Its long, tapering shape is divided into gentle vertical ribs that catch the light from every angle, and the silver carries a speckled, antiqued look that gives it the feel of an old family heirloom. It measures 13cm tall and 6.5cm across at its widest, a generous size that holds its own among smaller baubles, and it finishes with a silver cap and a neat hanging loop at the top.
Hang it on the Christmas tree, where the ribbed glass picks up fairy lights and turns each one into a small flicker of silver. It sits happily on a real or artificial tree, frosted or green, and suits a traditional scheme of silver, white and clear glass just as well as a mix of warmer metallics. Away from the tree, it works on a garland across the mantelpiece, from a branch arrangement in a tall vase or hung in a window where the daylight can reach it. As a gift it makes a thoughtful Christmas present for anyone who loves dressing the tree with a few treasured glass pieces each December.
The decoration is glass with a shiny finish, so it deserves a little care. Hang it from a sturdy branch by its loop so it rests clear of other ornaments, and dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth. When the tree comes down, wrap it in tissue and store it in a box of its own so it is ready to come out again next Christmas. Our tip is to hang it a little way into the branches rather than at the very tip, where the tree's own lights glow behind the glass and bring out every rib and speckle.
