The Oversized Red Glass Ball That Anchors the Whole Tree.

Charmed House Interiors · Ornament

A large, hand-blown glass ball in a deep translucent red, topped with an antique-brass cap and a natural jute tie. The glossy, jewel-like glass and aged metal give it a timeless, heirloom feel — a statement ornament with the warmth of something passed down.

Style note: Give it pride of place — near the front, catching the light. Its size means one or two do the work of a dozen smaller baubles.

For the woman who believes one beautiful, generous piece says more than a dozen ordinary ones.

Two Ways to Style It

On a classic red-and-gold tree. Hang a few of these deeper in the branches so the light glows through the glass, surrounded by smaller gold and glass baubles. Rich, traditional, and full of warmth.

In a bowl or urn, off the tree. Nestle two or three in a wooden dough bowl or footed urn with greenery and pinecones. An instant, oversized centrepiece for the table or mantel.
