Description
This painted glass egg is a Christmas tree decoration with a little old-world charm, worked in rich blue with crisp white bands and fine gold detail. Its oval body is painted from top to base: a band of blue leaf sprigs near the top, a shining blue panel holding a scrolling motif with a small clear sparkling stud at its centre, and below it a pale ground scattered with tiny blue flowers around a pointed star. Gold edging and glitter flecks pick out the borders and catch the light. It measures 19cm tall and 7cm across, a good size to hold its own among rounder baubles.
Hang it on the tree at eye height, where the pattern can be seen up close, or towards the front of the branches so the blue panel faces the room. It sits happily on a frosted or snowy-look tree, where the blue and white read clearly against the pale branches, and just as well on deep green. Blue and white is a classic pairing, so it suits a home dressed in navy, silver or china-blue tones, and it makes a thoughtful Christmas gift for someone who loves a painted, traditional decoration.
The body is glass with a painted pattern, topped with a silver cap and a fine silver cord, so it is ready to hang as it comes. As with any glass decoration, handle it gently and hang it on a sturdy branch, away from the very tips where it might swing and knock. Dust it with a soft dry cloth, and at the end of the season wrap it in tissue and store it where it won't be crushed. For a pretty finishing touch, tie a navy velvet ribbon to the branch beside it, or box it up as a keepsake to bring out each December.
