Quick answerThis finial glass tree topper is 12 in tall, mouth blown in Poland in matte gold, with a painted gold snowflake on the middle sphere and a hand painted winter scene on the lower one: a snowy cottage on the front and a snow-covered tree on the back. A glittered neck slips over the top of the tree.
A finial topper is the classic spire of a traditional Christmas tree: tall, slender and glowing at the very top. This one is in warm matte gold, with a little painted winter village where it meets the tree.

Will a 12 in topper suit my tree?
A 12 in finial suits most home trees. For very tall trees, the same styles come in 15 in. Make sure the top branch is straight and strong enough to hold the neck of the topper upright.
Styling a gold tree topper
- Gold and white: gold balls, white lights and white ribbon.
- Gold and red: a traditional tree with red ornaments and berries.
- Mixed metallics: gold, silver and champagne glass together.
Made by hand, and care
The topper is mouth blown and painted by hand in Poland, so each one varies slightly. Lift it on and off the tree by the lower sphere, dust it with a soft, dry brush, and store it wrapped in tissue in a box.
