The White Eucalyptus Stem — 80cm

Faux eucalyptus with the leaves bleached to a soft cream rather than the usual silver-green. It reads as dried rather than artificial, which is the whole trick.

Eighty centimetres of stem, so it needs some height under it — the Bottle Vase or the Tall Diamond. Three or five together look considered. One on its own looks like it lost the others.
