Description
This teardrop glass bauble is a Christmas tree decoration with a shiny silver finish and a soft, pearly sheen that shifts as it turns on the branch. Its long, tapering shape swells gently at the middle and narrows to a fine point at the tip, so it reads clearly against the green of the tree. Around the cap the glass stays clear and bright, then tiny raised beads scatter across it and gather into a sparkling texture towards the point. It measures 22cm tall and 6.5cm across at its widest, large enough to be noticed from across the room.
At 22cm tall, it suits a main family tree best, where it can hang from a sturdy branch with room to turn a little. We like it hung towards the outer tips, where fairy lights or a nearby lamp can pick out the beaded surface and the iridescent sheen. It works well away from the tree too: hang it from a garland along the mantelpiece, from twigs in a tall vase, or in a window where daylight catches the glass. The quiet silver colouring sits happily alongside clear glass, silver and gold decorations and pale, wintry schemes, and it makes a thoughtful Christmas gift.
It is made from glass with a shiny finish and hangs from a silver cap on a fine thread, ready to go straight onto the tree. As with any glass decoration, handle it gently. Hang it where it will not knock against a wall or sit within reach of curious pets. Dust it with a soft, dry cloth. When the decorations come down, wrap it in tissue and store it in a box so the tip and the beaded texture stay protected until next December. Pair it with plain round silver baubles for a calm, coordinated tree.
