Imagine holding a forest in the palm of your hand: the Woodland Tales Tumbler Green Tree by Ichendorf makes this vision tangible. Designed by Alessandra Baldereschi, it belongs to a collection where glass is never just a vessel but becomes a stage for fairy-tale imagery. Inside its crystal-clear walls, a tiny green tree rises, a playful yet poetic detail that turns a simple drink into an invitation to dream. This is not merely a tumbler; it is a reminder of winter woods, festive gatherings, and the timeless beauty of nature interpreted through modern tableware.

The charm of imperfection

Each tumbler is individually handmade in borosilicate glass, a material prized for its strength, clarity, and lightness. The process of lampworking ensures that no two trees are ever identical. One may lean slightly, another may reveal a deeper shade of green, another may seem to glow differently when caught in the light. These subtle imperfections are not flaws: they are the marks of human touch, the signature of artisans who shape glass into miniature landscapes.

Beyond the season

Although it often evokes the festive spirit of December, the Green Tree tumbler is not bound to a calendar. On a summer table, it brings freshness and whimsy; in autumn, it resonates with earthy tones; in spring, it becomes a symbol of renewal. When combined with other pieces from the Ichendorf Christmas collection: from mugs decorated with forest animals to other Ichendorf jugs or Ichendorf bottles, it creates a narrative across the table, a harmony between objects that feels both playful and refined.

A collector’s piece with a soul

Collectors and design enthusiasts appreciate the tumbler for what it represents: the intersection of craft, storytelling, and utility. It is small enough to be intimate yet powerful enough to stand as an object of design in its own right. To give it as a gift is to offer more than a glass: it is to share a fragment of nature, a spark of imagination, a token of artistry. In international design circles, Ichendorf Milano is celebrated for bridging tradition and modernity, and this tumbler embodies that ethos perfectly: contemporary in its minimal form, timeless in the story it tells.

Every sip, a journey

To drink from the Woodland Tales Tumbler is to be reminded that even the simplest gestures like pouring water, sharing wine, serving juice can carry beauty. The tree inside becomes a silent companion, watching as conversations unfold, meals are shared, and moments are remembered. It transforms the table into more than a functional space; it becomes a landscape where design meets emotion, and where everyday life finds the grace of a fairy tale, an elegant balance between utility and home décor accessories.
