A small bird rests on a glass dome as if pausing mid-flight. The Ichendorf Animal Farm optic dome with dish bird transforms the table into a poetic landscape where transparency meets imagination. Created by Alessandra Baldereschi, this piece celebrates everyday rituals with a touch of fantasy. Designed as part of the Animal Farm collection, it brings joy and refinement to pastries, cheeses or fruits, while the sculpted bird becomes a symbol of lightness and freedom. Every element, from the optic texture of the dome to its soft curvature, evokes a world where nature and design quietly converse.

Born from the artisan’s flame

Each dome and dish are handmade and lampworked from borosilicate glass, a material chosen for its purity, strength and crystalline brilliance. The process leaves subtle variations, proof of its artisanal origin and authenticity. Sized with a dome diameter of 11 cm and a plate diameter of 12 cm, it finds perfect proportion between delicacy and practicality. Designed for alimentary use and dishwasher safe at low temperatures (40 °C/104 °F recommended), it blends professional quality with domestic charm. The optic finish refracts light beautifully, turning each use into a small performance of reflections.

Design that smiles

The bird motif dessert cover offers both function and wonder. Under its dome, a slice of cake or a macaron becomes a centerpiece, framed like a jewel. The gentle bird perched on top adds whimsy without excess, embodying animal inspired table decor at its most sophisticated. Perfect as a premium handmade dome for entertaining or as a gift for design collectors, it brings a sense of poetry to every serving gesture.

Harmonies across the Ichendorf universe

Compatible with other pieces from the Alessandra Baldereschi x Ichendorf, this handmade designer glass dome coordinates effortlessly with tumblers and glasses, cups and mugs, and jugs and pitchers. When combined, these transparent elements create a complete mise en scène where craftsmanship, storytelling and functionality meet. Each pairing reveals new reflections and balances, allowing the piece to adapt seamlessly from everyday tables to festive displays.

Italian craft, playful spirit

More than a simple accessory, this collectible glass dome embodies Ichendorf’s philosophy: precision, imagination and emotional connection. The designer table cover brings warmth and personality to contemporary dining, proving that elegance can be joyful. Whether used for display or daily service, the Ichendorf Animal Farm dome bird invites a touch of nature to perch gracefully within your home: a quiet celebration of beauty in motion.
