Modern decorative cloche (glass with grey marble base)

Approx 6.5" diameter and 11" tall. Cloches, derived from the French word for 'bell,' have a rich history dating back to the 19th century. Originally, they were used as protective covers for delicate plants in gardens, shielding them from frost and pests. These early cloches were typically made of glass and were essential tools for gardeners looking to extend the growing season. Over time, cloches transitioned from purely functional gardening tools to decorative items used in interior design. Today, they are often used to display and protect cherished objects, such as candles, small sculptures, or other collectibles. The glass dome provides an elegant way to showcase items while also protecting them from dust and damage. The combination of a glass dome with a marble base adds a touch of sophistication and luxury to any display.
