Collecting crystal needn’t be an expensive hobby. Petite trinkets like our saucers designed with an intricate hatched pattern are versatile keepsakes and often can be discovered at antiques stores. Here, they hold a coupling of chocolaty morsels for guests at a Christmas dinner, but they would look just as charming storing delicate jewelry on a vanity.
For those with a penchant for exceptional wares, Nutcracker-shaped candlesticks add a dose of lustrous beauty to the table. Since they may only be used seasonally, we recommend handwashing the accessories in warm water before drying them with a soft duster and storing in cabinetry or cloth-lined drawers to avoid chipping or other damage.
