Poinsettia Decal Gin Glass with Hand Painted Design - Red & Green

This gin glass wears a ring of red poinsettias around its rounded bowl, set among green leaves, pine sprigs and clusters of red berries. The poinsettia pattern is a decal, paired with a hand painted design, and four small stones are set into the decoration to catch the light as the glass is lifted. The bowl is a generous balloon shape in clear glass, raised on a long, slim stem above a wide round foot, so the red and green sit where everyone at the table can see them. It stands about 21.3cm tall and measures 11cm across at its widest, which gives a wide mouth for ice and a garnish.

It is made for a long gin and tonic, and the round bowl suits any drink served over ice. Set it beside a plate for a winter dinner, bring it out when friends call round, or keep it on an open shelf or a drinks trolley, where the poinsettia pattern adds colour between uses. The red and green sit beautifully with a deep green or burgundy tablecloth, gold candlesticks and white china, while the clear glass keeps the look light enough for a kitchen table as much as a dining room. It also makes a cheerful gift that needs very little wrapping to look the part.

The stem and foot are left plain and clear, so the glass is comfortable to hold and the decoration stays on the bowl. As good practice for decorated glassware, we would wash it gently by hand in warm soapy water, without scrubbing the painted design or the stones, then dry it with a soft lint-free cloth. Store it upright with a little space around it so the decoration is not knocked. For a gift, wrap it in tissue and add a small bottle of tonic and a sprig of rosemary, and it is ready to hand over.
