Our glass cloche series has serious historical cred. It's also really unexpected, whimsical, and fun. In 19th century England, in the days of Darwin and discovery, the curiosities of the natural world were a cultural obsession. Collectors, scientists, gardeners, and hobbyists displayed fragments of their fascination in cloches like these. They were tiny glimpses of an almost romantic ideal—based in nature, frozen in time, some that could only exist in imagination. Or under a glass bell. Our resin finger coral is cast from nature, then cleaned, shaded, and finished entirely by hand.
