The beauty of the lotus shape
The gentle curve of the lotus flower brings a quiet calm to the surface of crystal glass. The polished petals refract the incoming daylight and enchant the surroundings with tiny sparkles. You will likely enjoy how, in the morning sunshine, small patches of light play across the wall in one corner of the room, while the flower itself seems to come alive.
Where it looks most beautiful
The windowsill is its favourite spot, because natural light reaches it best there. It also stands well on a desk, offering a friendly resting point for your eyes during the workday. On the living room shelf, it softens the straight lines among the books, and in your meditation corner it becomes a thoughtful companion.
The message of the lotus
Ancient Eastern tradition sees the lotus flower as a symbol of purity and renewal, because it rises gracefully from muddy water to the surface. You do not need to study the symbolism deeply to feel that the shape of the flower is soothing and brings a sense of homeliness into the room.
Cleaning and care
Wipe the petals with a soft, dry cloth. If dust gathers in the grooves, gently brush it out with a fine brush or soft-bristled paintbrush. Lift smudges with a slightly damp cloth and dry it right away. Avoid strong cleaning agents on the surface.
Things to keep in mind
The lotus is made of glass and is therefore fragile. Place it on a non-slip surface and somewhere it cannot be accidentally knocked. Keep it out of reach of children, since the edges of the thinner petals may be sharp. When giving it as a gift, line the bottom of the box with soft paper.
