Description
This is a round glass bauble for the Christmas tree, 10cm across, with a sprayed bronze finish and a crackled surface. The glass is not smooth: it is crazed all over into a fine network of raised lines, so the bronze sits unevenly, deeper in some places and paler in others, and catches the light in small points rather than one bright shine. At the top is a metal cap with a loop, and the decoration hangs from a fine thread tied through it. At 10cm across it is a generous size for a bauble, large enough to hold its own on a full tree rather than disappearing among the needles.
Hang it on the Christmas tree in the sitting room or hallway, where its size lets it read clearly from across the room. It looks its best hung a little way into the branches, where the needles behind it show off the texture. Off the tree, it can sit on a tray or in a shallow bowl on a sideboard or mantelpiece as part of a winter display. The bronze tone sits comfortably beside brass and warm wood. It suits anyone dressing a tree in warm metallic tones, and makes a thoughtful small gift for a friend who keeps a box of favourite decorations.
It is made of glass and iron: a glass ball with a metal cap and hanging loop at the top. The finish is sprayed, which gives the crackled glass its mottled bronze colour, and the whole decoration weighs 0.1KG. To make the most of the texture, hang it where fairy lights or a nearby lamp will catch the crazed surface, and pair it with plainer baubles so it stands out. A few hung together at different heights give a tree a warm, layered look. The styling props shown are not included.

Frequently Asked
What is this Christmas decoration made of?
It is made of glass and iron: a glass ball with a metal cap and hanging loop at the top, finished with a sprayed bronze colour.
How big is the bauble?
It is 10cm across, a generous size for a bauble that shows clearly on a full Christmas tree, and it weighs 0.1KG.
Does it come ready to hang?
Yes. It has a metal cap with a loop at the top, and a fine thread is tied through the loop so you can hang it straight onto a branch.
Is the glass smooth or textured?
It is textured. The glass is crackled, crazed all over into fine raised lines, so the sprayed bronze finish looks mottled and catches the light in small points.
Can I use it somewhere other than the tree?
Yes. It can sit on a tray or in a shallow bowl on a sideboard or mantelpiece as part of a winter display, as well as hanging from a branch.
