Description
This crackle glass light-up decoration brings a robin indoors for Christmas, perched on a snowy pine branch across a gentle glass dome. The robin, in rich red and soft brown, is set among green pine needles, white snowflakes and clusters of raised red berries tipped with white, as if dusted with snow. The crackled glass catches the light in a web of fine lines, and a white, snow-like band runs around the base. It stands about 18.5cm tall and 12cm across, a size that sits comfortably on a mantelpiece or a narrow shelf without crowding it.
Switched on, a scatter of tiny lights inside glows through the crackle glass, so the robin and the pine branches seem lit from within. We like it on a sideboard, a hallway table, a bookcase or a windowsill indoors, where it adds a soft glow to a corner through the dark December evenings. Because it runs on batteries, there is no flex to hide and no need to sit it near a socket, which makes it easy to move from room to room. It is for dry rooms indoors only. As a Christmas gift, it suits anyone who loves garden birds and a traditional festive look.
It is made of glass with a domed top and a flat base, so it stands freely on any level surface. It takes three AA batteries, which are not included, so it is worth having a set ready before it is unwrapped. To care for it, dust with a soft dry cloth, or wipe the glass gently with a damp cloth and dry it straight away, keeping moisture well away from the batteries. Take the batteries out before packing it away after Christmas. Set it beside a few pine cones or a sprig of holly, or pair it with candles in the same red and green for a festive arrangement.
