American Flag Glass Christmas Ornament

Matte black ceramic, stripped down to the shape — a modern read on the early American chamberstick, the handled holder you carried to bed. 4 in across, holds a standard taper. Spot clean; it doesn't like moisture.

Hand-forged metal in a raw nickel finish, faceted body on a wide flared base — low and weighted, so a tall taper doesn't tip it. About 3 in tall.

A brass handle cast as a branch, holding a 2.56 in lens. 9.25 in long, made in Uttar Pradesh. Decorative, but it genuinely magnifies.

A glass prism cut from old Indian school equipment, holding one stick above a brass tray.

A real starfish in clear resin, arms reaching to the corners, the orange and tan holding and the skin texture still readable. 3 in square, an inch deep.

A real crab set whole in clear resin — legs, claws, the fine shell detail all kept. 3 in square, an inch deep. Size and the set of the legs vary from one to the next.
