The impact of the larger size
This lotus is the most striking piece of the series, and thanks to its size it stands on its own as a decorative item in the room. The rich petals refract the incoming light vividly and cast bright patches onto the wall. You will likely enjoy how, in the morning sunshine, the flower almost comes to life on the shelf and gives an everyday feel a touch of celebration as well.
Where to place it
The living room shelf, the top of a sideboard or the display cabinet are the loveliest spots, where everyone can see it. On the centre of the dining table during a festive meal it is especially eye-catching. It also stands well on a larger windowsill, where natural light plays across the petals every day and casts small rainbows onto the wall.
The lotus tradition
According to ancient Eastern tradition, the lotus flower is a symbol of purity and inner renewal. It rises cleanly from the muddy depths to the surface of the water, and so it also carries a quiet message of perseverance. You do not need to know the symbolism deeply, since the shape itself brings a calm atmosphere to the guests of the guest room or the dining area.
Cleaning and care
Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Dust the grooves of the petals with a soft brush or paintbrush so the play of light does not fade. Lift smudges with a slightly damp cloth and dry it right away. Avoid dish soap, scouring powder and alcohol-based cleaners on the surface.
Things to keep in mind
The lotus is made of glass and, despite its larger size, it is still fragile. Place it on a stable, non-slip surface where it cannot be knocked accidentally. Keep it out of reach of children, since the thinner edges may be sharp. When giving it as a gift, line both the bottom and the top of the box with soft paper during transport.
