A DECORATIVE glass item, be it dazzling lead crystal or an exciting mixture of coloured glass, makes an attractive gift on any occasion.
If on St Valentine's Day you insist on giving a heart Baccarat, hearts in blue, amber, green and red translucent glass will fit the bill admirably.
An alternative, but much smaller item designed to express the same emotion, is a pair of lead crystal love birds sitting on an arch embossed with two miniature hearts.
If hearts are too much of a cliche, a small pair of glass courting swans should convey the appropriate message.
These elegantly curved birds are produced by the Italian firm Vilea, and can be bought at Wang Hing Silversmiths in Harbour City.
Swarovsky's lead crystal animals and birds are well-known and many fans already have their own choice.
