Description
This glass ball decoration is a round silver globe that lights up from within, bringing a gentle glow to any table or shelf. Unlit, the glass has a shiny silver finish that catches the light around it like a polished bauble. Once lit, the glass takes on a softer, smoky tone and a warm white bulb-shaped light shows at its centre, so the piece changes character as the evening draws in. It measures 11.2cm tall, 11.6cm wide and 11.7cm deep, a compact size that sits happily on a crowded surface.
Because it runs on two AAA batteries, there is no flex to hide and no need to sit it near a plug socket. That frees it for the spots a mains lamp cannot easily reach: the middle of a dining table, a bookshelf, a hallway console, a windowsill or a bedside table. It makes a cosy accent on a mantelpiece alongside candles and greenery, and a small pool of light in a dark corner of a living room. We think it makes a thoughtful new home gift too, an easy way to help a first evening in a new place feel settled and warm.
The ball is made of glass and sits on a slim round base that lets it stand neatly on a flat surface. Its shiny silver finish suits modern and traditional rooms alike, sitting as comfortably beside chrome and grey as it does with warm wood. To keep the glass bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it gently with a damp cloth and dry it straight away. Keep two spare AAA batteries in a drawer nearby so it is always ready to glow. For a simple display, set it on a tray with a trailing plant and a few books, or wrap it up as a housewarming present for friends moving into a new home.
