Description
This frosted glass bauble is a light-up decoration that brings the shape of a classic Christmas ornament to a shelf or table at a much larger scale. The round glass body has a frosted, finely speckled surface in white, finished at the top with a silver-toned cap and a slim loop handle. Inside sit small LED lights that show through the glass as scattered points of light, so the whole globe glows from within once it is switched on. It measures 19cm tall and 13cm across, compact enough for a mantelpiece or windowsill.
We see it as a Christmas piece for the living room, the hallway console or a dining sideboard, anywhere you want a little light through the darker afternoons of December. It is for dry rooms indoors, where it can sit on a bookcase or among greenery along the mantel. Because it runs on batteries rather than a plug, it can go where there is no socket nearby, which makes it easy to place on a side table or a deep shelf. Its white and silver look suits a pared-back scheme. It also makes a thoughtful Christmas gift for someone who loves to decorate but has little room left on the tree.
The bauble is made from glass and takes three AA batteries, which are not included, so it is worth having a set ready before you unpack it for the season. The frosted surface softens the light into a diffused glow rather than a sharp sparkle. To care for it, take the batteries out, then dust it with a soft dry cloth or wipe the glass gently with a slightly damp cloth and dry it well. Set it on a flat, steady surface, and for a fuller display group it with a few smaller baubles in a shallow bowl or a sprig of eucalyptus.
