Large 19th-century French Glass Cloche de Melon (LG-08)

Traditionally used in 19th-century French gardens to protect young plants from frost (acting as individual miniature greenhouses trapping sun heat to help them grow faster), these domed glass cloches are among John Derian's trove of handpicked vintage and antique goods. This cloche features a "sliced" knob, a functional design choice to prevent the glass from acting as a magnifying lens and overheating the plant inside.
