Miniature
Hand-crafted Christmas Tree Baubles
for Dolls'
House or Miniature Scenes
sets of 6
in Handmade Display Boxes
1:12 scale
Choice of 6 sets (Including new sets for 2023)
Each collection is a
carefully handcrafted set of designs replicating original mercury and glass
tree ornaments. Although these are not made of glass, careful selection
of paints and vanishes has allowed replication of the characteristic shine
and/or transparent colouring of the originals.
Baubles measure
approximately 8.5mm including wire hoop. (Pointed baubles 10mm.)
Collection
1: Opaque wintery colours based on blues, greens and silver,
with snowflake, swirl, frost and leaf motifs.
Collection
2: Opaque. Vibrant reds, greens, yellows and gold, including mercury-style
finishes and detailed mistletoe and ivy berry with gold detailing.
New! Collection 3: Clear baubles in both matte and gloss, in white, blues and greens. Snow and leaf patterns.
New! Collection 4: A mix of vibrant reds, greens and white/clear, with scrolls, swirls, leaves and gold highlights.
New! Collection 5: Metallic scroll patterns on semi-transparent brightly-coloured baubles. Upper parts gloss, lower parts matte.
New! Collection 6: Ribbed round and pointed baubles in various blue, green and white tones. Matte finish, with lustre to upper parts.
(Prearranged
Order: This is only available to persons who have contacted me and
arranged a special purchase in advance.)
Each set comes
packaged in a handmade green gilded display box with white internal
partitioning to create six cells, with each bauble cushioned in white
tissue. Clear cellophane panel in lid.
All baubles are
strung on very thin, 38 gauge wire loops with gold-coloured thread for
hanging. I would recommend either gluing to tree branches or attaching
with thin-gauge wire hooks.
Please note that the
listing photo is representative of the specific designs in each
collection. These are not mass produced. Due to the unique
character of hand crafted baubles, there will be slight variations in the
collection you receive. Also, to maintain the shine on these baubles they
should be handled as little as possible, as oils from skin will dull the finish
over time. Once painted I handle these wearing gloves and hang them with
tweezers.
For adult
miniaturists only - not a toy.
Please see my other
listings for more collections of miniature baubles, tree toppers, ornaments, stockings,
garlands, wreaths, nutcrackers etc.
I will normally
try to post within 24 hours of receiving payment where possible. For UK post, I offer my miniatures with free postage - packages are sent second class unless you pay
an added fee for first class, and Royal Mail have dramatically increased their prices. In addition, because of the number of orders which
have been misplaced by postal services, I have had to start a policy of
requiring 'proof of postage' on larger international orders, so that I can
claim compensation when parcels disappear to who knows where?! The most
environmentally-friendly way to do this is through Royal Mail's collection
service, rather than me driving every day to the nearest town, but I will be
charged 72p per order for this. I am now also offering to post via Royal
Mail's 'International Tracked and Signed', which is a more expensive option,
but if you want to be able to track your order, you may prefer this to the
standard option.
Notice to
international buyers not covered by my standard postage options: I will be
happy to ship internationally if arranged with me prior to purchase.
Please contact me for further info about postage fees.
Orders from outside
the UK: Please be aware that Ebay may add tax to your purchase at
checkout, depending on your country. Ebay automatically remits this tax
to the relevant tax authorities. It is also possible, especially
post-Brexit, that your country's Customs office may impose import duties/taxes
and handling charges on orders as they arrive in their destination country -
the only way I can figure out what is being added is if customers let me know
that this has happened, so I will update my listings with information as this
becomes clearer, but please understand that these extra charges are out of my
control.
Environmental
policy: I am committed to reusing and recycling as much packaging
material as possible. I make much of my own packaging from recycled cardboard,
and by far the majority of my packaging is recyclable/compostable.
