This large finial-style ornament rises through a tiered silhouette, a pointed tip, a rounded waist, a wide flattened center, and a teardrop base, all in deep, glossy red glass. In the photo fine vertical ribs run the length of each section, catching light in narrow bands that give the glass a subtly twisted, faceted look.
Why this ornament: the tiered, multi-section shape draws the eye vertically through the branches in a way a round ball can't; the deep glossy red reflects light in long ribbed streaks rather than one broad shine; at roughly 25 cm tall, it reads as a statement piece rather than a filler ornament.
What's included: one red glass spire ornament, approximately 25 cm tall, with a hanging loop attached. Dimensions: 9.4 x 3.5 inches.
As hand-blown glass, it should be hung by its loop and handled carefully given its larger, more elongated shape. Beyond the tree, it makes a striking addition to a garland, a mantel display, or a wreath with room for a larger accent piece.
At approximately 25 cm tall, this red spire is best suited to a spot with clearance on the tree or as a focal piece off it, and its bold vertical form and rich red tone make it a strong choice for classic red Christmas color schemes and for collectors who favor larger glass ornaments.
