1. a bell-shaped glass jar used to cover delicate plants.
2. a close fitting, bell-shaped hat for women.
So ... what are all the other things we call a cloche?
You be the judge ... lots of pictures ...

Thanks Revi.
I do have one bell-shaped glass cloche that houses a real bird nest on a stack of grapevine.
Now this IS a cloche.

These small cheese domes make really nice cloche. I placed them on small vintage enamel plates and displayed my miniature antique stone fruit.

re-purposed to a cloche HERE
Chicken wire cloche ...
I purchased these and they were pretty expensive, about
$15.00 each plus shipping. The wire openings are smaller and items do not show up very well in them.

I covered a metal frame from the Thrift store with chicken wire ... added a finial and called it
a cloche.

One sitting on a glass cake pedestal plate shows off the display really nice and the other on a silver plated cake plate.

wooden dowel stick bird house with a metal lantern inside that serves as a night light.
"Apartment for rent" birdcage ... on the front porch ...
I believe it is already rented.
Split bamboo ... not for birds ... ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkw7FbUrF5i5Iir1Iourt1cJh0XoQ2UDioXJypAc7CB8vfxiud_-67ap7FpfehikO4uEKX_Q-APp4hchTC69R_Y5jfD69sjcqbnNYLuQdXboFURrvDD9Iw9hwcxXlMhf2S8Z3ZJy9F-P8/s1600/1015pm.jpg)

A large glass and metal house display/cloche that I bought in 2009 to sell on eBay ... never listed and never displayed.
Cost $15.oo for the frame and $20.00 to have the glass pieces cut. Must find a perfect place to use this.
you can see how this wire trash basket was re-purposed to a cloche light HERE.
Hope you enjoyed all my "cloche" displays
or "not a cloche" dome displays !!
When is a cloche not at cloche?
If not a cloche … maybe it's

I love cloches. Not the hat kind but the cover kind. I also use a cheese one on a pedestal plate that I made. Nancy
