Christmas Bauble David Bowie Clown: Ornament

Product Information

Buy a pair of coat hooks for the Fruitmarket Gallery’s new engagement studio. Photograph: Sally Jubb A more generic offering, this is a glass bauble that’s perfect for the retro gamer in your life. Or you if you happen to be a fan of arcade machines. Yes, I love Peanuts, so of course, I went looking for some decorations featuring the Charles Schulz characters.

Best of all, they come as a set of three, which puts them into the better value category of this rundown. Each one is unique and hand-finished and with the kind of kitsch appeal that will create a talking point. that was a year, eh? Some people are already calling for people to put up the decorations, call it Christmas and move onto 2021. And there's probably no better way to feel better about Christmas 2020 than with a new and exclusive David Bowie Bauble. And this year, it's a beaut. Those clever designers at My World Publishing have again taken inspiration from Bowie's Ziggy Stardust phase. But this year they've returned to turning heads with Ziggy Stardust now accepting his close up! With the iconic bright red hair and gold astral sphere on his forehead from his make up designer Pierre Laroche no less. Looking as ever iconic with his 'snow white tan', we're very excited about our fourth Bowie bauble and it makes a perfect companion piece for the three Bowie's of Christmas past. I don’t think it gets more retro than this one and if you love the 1980s/1990s and home taping, this is the ornament for you.The baubles are individually painted so slight discrepancies may occur. Each one is presented in a gift box.

I could probably do without the writing on it, but the design itself is to be commended. A detailed recreation of a vintage TV in miniature and in glass. Well, I featured a Mini, so it seems right that the other leading light of retro cars is featured too. The same maker did some slightly different ones last year. But this year’s set is bigger and for me, better too. It’s another at the Baltic store, sized about 10cm tall and of course, dressed in purple. If you are a fan, this design from Cody Foster is an obvious one to buy. This is actually a choice of three, as you can get both Mario and Yoshi too. But I have decided to go with the controller.

The London EDITION

Note that there are also some wonderful Beatles decorations by Christopher Radko too. On the downside, they aren’t easy to find in the UK (which isn’t an issue if you are reading this in the US) and they are quite pricey. Here is another icon. There’s no shortage of Bowie ornaments and decorations this year. So with that in mind, I’m featuring two.
