Description
This purple mercury glass light-up decoration takes the shape of a big round bauble, with a scatter of tiny LED fairy lights inside that glow through the glass. The glass has a shiny lilac purple finish flecked all over with silvery speckles, the antique look mercury glass is loved for, and a polished silver-coloured cap sits at the top with a slim wire loop. It stands 20cm tall, 13cm wide and 13cm deep, a generous size that holds its own on a shelf or a table.
We think it looks its best wherever its glow can be seen: on a mantelpiece, a windowsill, a sideboard or the centre of the dining table through the Christmas season. By day the speckled purple glass catches the light like a bauble on the tree, and once the lights are on in the evening they glow softly through the silvery flecks. Because it runs on batteries, it needs no plug or socket nearby, so you can set it wherever it suits the room. It is a decoration for dry rooms indoors, and it makes a cheerful Christmas gift for anyone who loves a colourful festive scheme.
The lights run on three AA batteries, which are not included, so have a fresh set ready before you set it out. It sits on a flat base at the bottom of the glass, and the wire loop at the top makes it easy to lift and move from room to room. Care is simple: dust the glass with a soft dry cloth or wipe it gently with a barely damp one, and take the batteries out before you pack it away after Christmas. For a festive display, group it with greenery and pine cones, or set it among other purple and silver decorations for a bold seasonal look.
