Help I.D. these Ceramic Ribbon Trees?

crz033 — Mon, 20 Jul 2015 03:09:40 GMT

I've noticed these ceramic white or ivory trees that sort of look like they are made of ribbon. I've been waiting to see if they offer them for sale, but so far they haven't been featured, and for the life of me I can't find them on the website. Does anyone know if these are something I can buy from here, or was this a product that they're using for their set that aren't actually available? I'd love to know. Thanks in advance for your help!

Personally I think they were just used for props. I would contact CS and ask.

I tried calling the 800 number and the nice elderly-sounding southern lady I spoke with was like "You mean the 6 foot tree?" No, these are about a foot tall and they're ceramic."Oh, you must mean the finials." No, those aren't them either. "The 9 foot tree with garland?" No.

She was very sweet and she tried but no matter how I explained them, she wasn't understanding what I was looking for.

I am sure it is a prop. It's very annoying that the Q uses props of items not available for sale here.

I was wondering about those trees too. I am wondering if perhaps those are from Lenox too and may be on sale later in this year either on Lenox.com or here??

That was a good idea to check Lenox. I went to their site and don't see them, either. I know most of QVC's Christmas decor like this comes from either Kringle Express or Valarie Parr Hill. Maybe Valerie knows!

Q does have things on set that they use as props. VPH has often answered on her FB page about some of them, perhaps she could help.

I know they need to make nice sets, but for the kitchen sets, and the VPH sets, they need to try to do their best to use only Q products, or state on air the things they know people will be questioning.

I saw those trees and wondered about them as well. Most of us wouldn't go running wild for a white dinner plate used in a table setting, but they have to know that something like those trees is going to spark interest, so just say in the presentations that they aren't a Q product (or they are or will be at a certain date).

I just saw this same tree in a video for Kringle Express porcelain bells, so I think that pretty much confirms that it is just a set prop.

If interested, watch the last 20 seconds of this video:

I wrote Alberti on Facebook and he was nice enough to get back to me this morning. He said that Valerie did have something similar previously, but they sold out and these trees he believes are just props. They don't sell them. Thank you to everybody on the board here for trying to help figure it out!

I'm still going to keep an eye out for them . I've seen the craft trees using the ribbon so I am sure someone somewhere will come out with the ceramic ones too. They are so unique and I would be interested in purchasing myself.
