Description
This round ceramic Christmas ornament pairs a bold cartoon portrait with a much-quoted line: "Welcome to the party, pal". The words run twice around a white rim in heavy black capitals, divided by small dots, and circle a blue centre. Inside it, a grinning, battle-scarred hero with tousled dark hair and a bruised, grazed face crawls forward in a vest, holding up a flip-top lighter with a small flame. The colours are bright and the lettering clear. It measures 7.3cm across and 0.5cm deep, a flat disc that sits neatly among other decorations.
A red twisted cord, threaded through a small hole at the top, lets it hang from a branch of the tree, and it works just as well on a door handle, a cupboard knob, a mantelpiece garland or a peg rail through the festive season. Among rows of glass baubles it adds a bit of humour and gives the tree a talking point when people call round. As a small Christmas gift it suits anyone who quotes their favourite films word for word, and it tucks easily into a stocking or ties neatly to the ribbon of a wrapped present.
The ornament is made from ceramic, with the design printed on its face and the cord already in place, so it is ready to hang. Ceramic can chip or break if it is dropped, so choose a sturdy branch rather than the very tip and handle it with care. Dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it gently with a damp cloth and dry it straight away. When the tree comes down, wrap it in tissue and store it flat so the edges and cord stay in good order for next year. We like it hung at eye level near the front of the tree, where everyone can read the quote.
