The Bauble That Glows Like a Paper Lantern.

Charmed House Interiors · Ornaments

Ribbed glass in a warm tangerine orange, finished with an iridescent lustre that shifts to rose and pale gold along every ridge. The vertical fluting catches light in long stripes rather than single points, which gives it real presence. Generously sized, topped with a hammered silver crown and hung on a fine cord.

Not a colour you expect. Entirely a colour that works.

Style note — the tree: Hang it forward and low where the ribbing can catch the lights along its whole length.

Style note — the bowl: One or two in a footed glass bowl with clear baubles — the orange does all the work.

Two Ways to Style It

On a warm, spice-toned tree. Mix with amber glass, dried orange slices, brass and cinnamon bundles for a scheme built on honey and rust rather than red and green.

Against deep green branches. Let a handful sit as the only colour on an otherwise plain tree — orange against pine is unexpected and looks remarkable.
