Crystal carols







Tinkle bells, tinkle bells...oh, indulge me in my silly season Christmas week wordplay.

I mentioned that visitors to our house were more likely to be served from a glass receptacle than a silver one, (to accommodate the tinkle of ice over glass), and here is a selection of some to choose from.

I stopped using decanters some years ago because of a fear of the lead in the crystal seeping into the alcohol; well, not my fear, but that of someone important in my life. Whether that theory is true or not, I now actually really like empty decanters, as their effect enhances the silver and black and white theme in decorative objects throughout the sitting and dining area. And they work so well with artificial light, (including and especially very dimmed overhead halogens).
