Close up, the Sola Tip Ball Skin SO75 looks like it is covered in tiny cut flowers. Its surface is built from round discs sliced from sola, each with a small dot at the centre and a thin ring of natural brown skin around the edge. The discs overlap like scales, completely covering a round core.
The photographs show the balls in warm ivory and cream, with the brown rims outlining every disc and giving the surface a gentle pattern. The gallery also shows them styled in a wooden bowl alongside dried gypsophila and on rustic wood, where the natural tones sit comfortably with other dried materials.
As a filler, this ball adds volume and texture to bowls, trays, lanterns and vase bases, and its sola surface absorbs fragrance oils for potpourri-style use. It is a practical piece for retailers building natural décor sets. Floral Mongers supplies it as a bulk dry flower décor item, graded by size and packed in counted packs for export.

Natural variation
The discs are hand-cut, so their size, skin rim and centre dot differ across the surface of each ball. Overall roundness and tone also vary slightly, which is typical of handmade sola balls. These are natural characteristics of handmade and botanical products, not defects; shade, size and grade are confirmed on sample approval.
Care & storage
- Keep in a dry place, away from damp walls, bathrooms and direct sunlight.
- Lift the ball from underneath rather than squeezing the surface pieces.
- Clean with a soft, dry brush; avoid wet cloths and sprays.
- Store in the original carton between uses so the covering is not crushed.
- Unpack promptly on arrival and let the pieces air in a dry room; avoid storing in sealed, humid packaging
