A few years ago glass cloches were a big trend in vintage and French Country Décor. I fell in love with the idea and enjoyed how a glass dome could elevate a single small piece or grouping in almost any setting. Large and small, they found their way into my seasonal décor. Trends come and go, but this elegant glass piece has stayed a constant with me throughout the years.

This cloche is part of a buffet display from a dining room Home Tour where I focused on the Dining Room table with a large urn with fall natural elements, and where the buffet with several cloches is dressed up for Fall. Here is a grouping of cloches that celebrate fall and a few others from the past I've put together for the Autumn Season.
Vintage china cups and a creamer in autumn hues.
A French stoneware tureen and an antique chromolithograph color print anchor the buffet.
The beauty of creating a cloche display is that it can be simple or more layered and dynamic. Since I was putting together several for a buffet display I kept them more simple. The larger glass domes accommodated small ironstone compotes with mini bouquets in late summer and fall faux blooms. I already had created the mini bouquets, so it was easy to just place them on a base and cover them.
I've had this perfect little velvet bejeweled pear for years. It's sitting on a bed of moss in a small silver handled basket. You'll see that little pear featured in so many of my fall cloche vignettes. The amber glass cake pedestal is vintage, and I really love using it in the fall.
Back in the early days of vintage décor blogging there was a fun little trend of making cupcake stands. We would find glass candlesticks at flea markets then glue a vintage plate on top... And magically we had a cupcake stand!
Here's a post from last year, when our vintage group shared how we use our pieces of amber glass. The amber pedestal is a favorite base for fall cloches. The paper mache squirrel box was a gift from my younger daughter years ago and it's one of my favorite fall pieces.
Here's another post where I used glass cloches on the buffet:
I have to admit I have an affinity for small rodents, so I tend to collect squirrel and chipmunk figurines. Here is a Lefton China chipmunk figurine featured in a fall naturals cloche. (And the velvet pear is there, too.)
Here is one of my treasured little needlepoint pumpkins featured in this cloche. I find myself using natural elements like moss, leaves, sticks and vines as a base or filler in my cloches.
This grouping was in the dining room at our last house. These fall cloche displays hold moss baskets, clay pots, birds and the famous velvet pear.
One of my favorite themes for fall is anything "Woodsy".
I used smaller cloches and lambs for this fall display on a tole tray in the dining room at our original blogging house.
It was love at first sight with this precious little lamb box.
This is a early fall cloche display in the living room at that same house. A blogging friend sent me this amazing dried sunflower head that I placed under my large glass dome on a silver platter. It made for a wonderful fall look.
