Why You Need a Cloche in Your Home

What is a cloche? Traditionally, a cloche is a bell-shaped glass cover used to protect plants, preserve food or display something beautiful. The word cloche comes from the French word for “bell,” a reference to its distinctive shape.

Today, a glass cloche brings that same sense of beauty and function into the home. It can transform something as simple as a loaf of bread, a favorite dessert or a seasonal arrangement into a statement for the kitchen island, countertop or dining table.

Meet the Glass Teardrop Cloche

Inspired by the graceful shape of 19th-century French confection vessels, our redesigned Glass Teardrop Cloche features a clear glass dome topped with an elegant teardrop finial.

The refined silhouette feels timeless while giving the traditional cloche a fresh new look. Designed to protect and beautifully present, it can be paired with a cake stand, serving tray or trivet riser to create a display that feels collected and intentional.

The Glass Teardrop Cloche quickly became a bestseller and sold out soon after its debut. It is currently available for preorder and will begin shipping again on August 29.

Display Baked Goods

Place your cloche over cakes, pastries, fresh bread or breakfast treats to create a display worthy of a European pâtisserie. Pair it with one of our cake stands to add height and make homemade or store-bought favorites feel even more special.

Style a Kitchen Island or Countertop

A cloche can turn everyday ingredients into part of your kitchen décor. Arrange it over cheeses, fruit or baked goods, then place it on a wooden serving tray or trivet riser to bring warmth and dimension to your countertop.

Create a Seasonal Display

The clear glass dome makes it easy to refresh your cloche throughout the year. Fill the space beneath it with spring greenery, summer citrus, autumn accents or holiday ornaments. A few small changes can create an entirely new centerpiece without replacing the cloche itself.

Add Height and Dimension

Layering a glass cloche with natural wood creates an easy focal point for a table, buffet or open shelving. Use a cake stand, tray or riser beneath it to add height while allowing whatever is displayed inside to take center stage.

Beautiful, versatile and endlessly adaptable, a glass cloche is one of those pieces you will find yourself styling again and again. Explore our Domes and Cloches and discover a new way to elevate the everyday.
