{"product_id":"big-ben-ornament","title":"Big Ben Ornament","description":"\u003cp\u003eSerious london gifts tend toward the skyline, and the Big Ben Ornament goes straight to the top of it: a hand-painted glass portrait of the clock tower, 1.57 inches in diameter and a properly commanding 5.31 inches tall. The tower is drawn out vertically from a single gather of hot glass, since height like this cannot be molded convincingly, and the clock faces, stonework, and gilt details are painted on under magnification. The real clock has told London the time since 1859, minus the 2017 renovation, four years of silence that Londoners still describe with genuine grief. Margaret stood on Westminster Bridge at nineteen, looked up, and reports that she felt briefly and correctly small. She has been chasing that feeling ever since. This ornament will not replicate it, but it will remind her. There is TIFF-gala assurance in this piece, the kind that fills a room before the lights go down.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chive Ceramics Studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41911797547145,"sku":"ORN184","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0375\/5687\/9497\/files\/ornament-clock-tower-1.webp?v=1784813745","url":"https:\/\/chive.com\/products\/big-ben-ornament","provider":"Chive Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
