Pine Cone Hanging Glass Christmas Tree Decoration - Silver

This pine cone glass Christmas tree decoration brings a quiet shimmer of winter woodland to the branches. It takes the form of a slim oval cone, with rows of rounded, overlapping scales running across the glass from the cap down to a tapered tip. The glass has a shiny silver finish with soft antiqued flecks across the scales, giving it the gentle look of a well-loved heirloom ornament. It stands 13.5cm tall and 5cm across, small enough to sit neatly among the branches, and a silver-toned cap at the top carries a loop for hanging.

Hang it on the Christmas tree, where it looks at home on real or artificial branches. It also works away from the tree: hook it onto a garland along the mantelpiece, a wreath on an inside door, or a few bare twigs in a vase on the hall table for a seasonal display. Silver suits almost any scheme, from icy whites to warmer gold, copper and deep forest green, so it is easy to build around. Because the shape is a woodland one rather than a novelty, it feels just as right on the first day of December as it does on Twelfth Night.

The decoration is made of glass with a shiny silver finish, so handle it as you would any glass ornament: choose a sturdy branch where it hangs freely without knocking against its neighbours. For care, dust it with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from damp. When the festivities are over, wrap it in tissue paper and store it in a padded box so it is ready to bring out again next Christmas. It makes a thoughtful little Christmas gift tucked in with a card. We like it hung near the tip of a branch, close to the fairy lights, where the silver scales catch the glow and glimmer.
