Letting the glass fog up 0%
Hand-blown in Hackney · Sealed since 2011
Water it once, in 2031.
Every Bell & Moss cloche is blown by hand, sealed over a living world and left to make its own weather. The moss breathes, the glass fogs, and it rains on the inside. You mostly just watch.

Three climates
Leucobryum · Adiantum · Ulmus parvifolia
A Kyoto moss garden in miniature: cushion moss, maidenhair fern, a path of river quartz and an eleven-year-old Chinese elm that has never been outdoors. Fogged by breakfast, clear by noon.
Echeveria · Haworthia · Mammillaria
The one exception to our rule. Rosettes and a flowering pincushion cactus on Arizona sand and sandstone, under a vented bell that only fogs on cold mornings. It likes a sunny sill.
Fittonia · Nephrolepis · lava rock
Pink-veined fittonia and button fern around a pool, fed by a very small waterfall and a pump the size of a thimble. The glass rarely clears. It rains inside at about six every evening.
Scroll, or choose a tab — the bell lifts, the base turns, a new world comes up.
Inside the glass
Nothing in a sealed terrarium is decoration. Every layer has a job, and between them they turn a single glass of water into a decade of weather.
Set by hand, one cushion at a time.
Peat-free loam, bark, perlite and springtails.
Keeps the soil out of the drainage.
Keeps the water sweet and the air clean.
Where the rain waits until it’s needed.
One Herefordshire board. Oiled, never lacquered.
Care
A north or east window is perfect. Summer sun turns a cloche into a greenhouse, so keep it a metre back.
Condensation is the point, not a problem. If the glass stays fogged all day, lift it for an hour, once.
Moss is a lawn. Brass scissors come with every cloche, and so does a reminder, every March.
Every bell is guaranteed for ten years. If yours ever needs water, we’ll come round and give it some.
