Details:
House your small air plants and cacti in a sparkling Desert Terrarium. Viewable from any angle, the terrarium can be turned for a fresh scene each day. Conservative in size, the stained glass terrarium will glint in the sunlight on your desk while keeping your air plants and cacti happily housed.
Measuring approximately 4-1/2″ wide by 4″ in height, we solder the stained glass terrarium using lead-free solder. This ensures the safety of your plants as well as the glass art. Additionally, the terrarium has four rubber bumper feet to keep it stable as well as protecting your desk or shelf.
The removable lid makes it easy to clean or arrange your plants inside the terrarium. The lid has four small pins to help align the lid when setting it back onto the base.
The terrarium design is available in a variety of sizes and formats; the hanging Diamond Terrarium, and the Sassy Terrarium.
How’s It Made?
Handcrafted from art glass, we create the Desert Terrarium using multiple steps. First, we cut the shapes for each of the terrarium sides from clear glass. Next, we shape the sides to remove any uneven edges. Once the sides are squared, we clean and dry the pieces.
We wrap each of the pieces in a copper foil. Solder doesn’t stick to the glass itself, so the copper acts as the medium to hold the pieces together. The solder adheres to the copper foil on the edge of the two pieces, and this holds the pieces together. We use a lead-free solder for safety; for you, and for your plants.
Once soldered, we add a patina to the solder to chemically oxidize the solder. This turns all of the solder lines black. Lastly, we add a wax to polish the glass and protect the solder.
The final touch is adding four bumper feet to keep the Desert Terrarium stable, and to protect your desk or shelf from scratches.

Note: Water sparingly. The terrarium has no drainage, and standing water will loosen the stained glass foil, as well as contribute to root rot.
