The new Blue Christmas decorations by italian brand Alessi are a different look and feel from Alessi’s previously stunning collection by artist Marcello Jori. These new Christmas baubles by Laura Polinoro (LPWK) and Antonio Aricò offer original inspiration for those who love creating a holiday atmosphere that may veer from the traditional Red and Green.
Alessi Blue Christmas
The blown glass decorations are perfect to hang onto the traditional Christmas tree but they can also be placed on the table or on a flat surface, thanks to the particular design of the base.
Made of hand-decorated blown glass on a mirrored blue base, each ball depicts a different character, protagonist of the magical fairy-tale world of the Blue Christmas collection: the dancer, the soldier, the angel, the star, the Santa Claus and finally the reindeer.
Each blown glass ornament measures Diameter(cm): 10.00, Height(cm): 10.70,
Over 400 great holiday ornaments and tree toppers can be found on our Christmas Pinterest Board
