A small bird rests on a glass dome as if pausing mid-flight. The Ichendorf Animal Farm optic dome with dish bird transforms the table into a poetic landscape where transparency meets imagination. Created by Alessandra Baldereschi, this piece celebrates everyday rituals with a touch of fantasy. Designed as part of the Animal Farm collection, it brings joy and refinement to pastries, cheeses or fruits, while the sculpted bird becomes a symbol of lightness and freedom. Every element, from the optic texture of the dome to its soft curvature, evokes a world where nature and design quietly converse.

Born from the artisans flame

Each dome and dish are handmade and lampworked from borosilicate glass, a material chosen for its purity, strength and crystalline brilliance. The process leaves subtle variations, proof of its artisanal origin and authenticity. Sized with a dome diameter of 11 cm and a plate diameter of 12 cm, it finds perfect proportion between delicacy and practicality. Designed for alimentary use and dishwasher safe at low temperatures (40 C/104 F recommended), it blends professional quality with domestic charm. The optic finish refracts light beautifully, turning each use into a small performance of reflections.

Design that smiles

The bird motif dessert cover offers both function and wonder. Under its dome, a slice of cake or a macaron becomes a centerpiece, framed like a jewel. The gentle bird perched on top adds whimsy without excess, embodying animal inspired table decor at its most sophisticated. Perfect as a premium handmade dome for entertaining or as a gift for design collectors, it brings a sense of poetry to every serving gesture.
