Ribbed Glass Bell Christmas Tree Decoration 8cm - Green

This ribbed glass bell Christmas tree decoration brings a soft green glow to the branches. The bell is made from translucent green glass, with fine ribs running from the crown down to a gently frilled rim, so light passes through it and picks out every line. It measures 8cm across, a neat size that sits easily between larger baubles on the tree. At the top, a small glass loop takes a hook, ribbon or cord, and the bell hangs straight beneath it with its open mouth facing down, just as a real bell would.

On the tree it looks its best close to the fairy lights, where the green glass warms and glows as the bulbs shine through it. It also suits a garland along the mantelpiece, a wreath on an inside door, a few bare winter twigs in a vase, or a window where daylight can reach it. The shade sits happily with a natural scheme of pine, wood and linen, and just as well beside gold, red or cream decorations. As a Christmas gift it makes a thoughtful small present, tucked into a hamper or tied to the ribbon of a wrapped parcel.

Being glass, the bell is best handled with a little care: hang it from a sturdy branch where it will not knock against anything hard, and keep it out of reach of pets and small children. Dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it gently with a damp cloth and dry it straight away to keep the glass clear. When the season is over, wrap it in tissue and store it in a box of its own so the frilled rim stays intact for the Christmases to come. We like it hung at eye level on the front of the tree, beside clear glass baubles, so the green really stands out.
