Leaf Sun Catcher
Bring a touch of botanical elegance into your home with this handcrafted Stained Glass Alocasia (Elephant Ear) Leaf Sun Catcher. Skillfully made by Sam at Linthorpe Glass, each piece is lovingly cut, soldered, and polished in her North East England studio.
Why You’ll Love It
-
Nature-inspired design: The flowing shape of the alocasia leaf is beautifully captured in stained glass — the soft curves and veins give the piece a graceful, lifelike quality.
-
Light-catching magic: Hang it in a sunny window, and watch as sunlight filters through the coloured glass, casting vibrant green hues and gentle reflections around your room. Suncatchers like this play with light in a way that is both calming and enchanting.
-
Handmade with care: This isn’t mass-produced — Sam individually crafts each leaf, ensuring every cut is precise, the solder joints are clean, and the finish is smooth.
-
Decor & gift-ready: Perfect for plant lovers, nature fans, or anyone who appreciates hand-crafted glass art. A thoughtful and unique gift, or a lovely accent to your own windowsill.

Care Instructions
To keep your Alocasia sun catcher looking its best:
-
Clean gently — Use a soft, lint-free cloth and mild soapy water. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners.
-
Avoid very sudden temperature changes — Glass can crack if it’s heated or cooled too quickly.
-
Check the hanger occasionally — Make sure the ring or wire is secure, especially if it’s in a windy spot.
