Speckled Glass Bauble LED Light-Up Decoration 13.5cm - Gold

This speckled glass bauble is a light-up decoration that brings a golden glow to Christmas, with tiny LED lights sitting inside a round gold globe. The glass has a shiny finish broken up by a fine speckled pattern, so even unlit it catches the light around it with a soft antique sheen. A silver-toned cap sits on top with a loop handle. It is 19cm tall, 13.5cm wide and 13.5cm deep, a size that holds its own on a shelf.

Once the lights are on, the speckles break the glow into little points of gold across the glass, which makes it a lovely thing to light as the evenings draw in. It suits a living room mantelpiece, a hallway table, a sideboard or a bookshelf, and it brings a festive touch to an indoor windowsill. It is meant for dry rooms indoors only. The flat base lets it stand on its own, so there is no hook to find, and the loop at the top makes it easy to lift and move as you rearrange your decorations through December.

The globe is glass, so treat it as you would a good tree bauble: set it down gently, keep it where it will not be knocked, and dust it with a soft dry cloth to keep the shiny finish bright. Avoid polishes or anything abrasive, which could dull the speckled surface. Between seasons, wrap it in tissue and pack it upright in a sturdy box so the cap and loop stay in shape. For styling, we like it set among sprigs of greenery or fir cones on a mantelpiece, where its gold picks up the colour of ribbon and wrapping paper. It also makes a thoughtful Christmas gift for a home that loves a gentle glow when the curtains are drawn.
