A tea tin ornament has all the worn charm of the real thing, shrunk down for the tree. Old tins pull hard on kitchen shelf nostalgia, and this one suits the friend who keeps a proper kettle and treats the afternoon cup as a small ceremony. It looks lovely on a garland above the stove or tied to a box of loose leaf.
Perfect for: tea drinkers, hostess gifts, teacher gifts, book club friends, tree trimming parties, and stocking stuffers.
It is a glass Christmas tree ornament, mouth-blown into a carved mold, then hand-painted and glittered in the tradition Old World Christmas has followed since the 1800s. A keepsake box comes with it, and the ornament hangs from a standard hook or sits on the shelf beside the actual tins.
Wrap it with a tin of Earl Grey and a good mug from our holiday entertaining collection. A ribbon in the same shade ties the whole gift together.
