Witch Balls are hand blown glass spheres, with 3 to 5 strands inside for collecting evil spirits and the like. Each one is unique with color, strands, bubbles, and size. Our glass art Witch Balls begin as clear recycled glass. As the molten hot glass is formed, color glass granules are applied to color 70% to 90% of surface, and to create the design pattern. Leaving clear areas allows sunlight the to brighten the sphere and the strands inside the ball. Each Witch Ball is handcrafted unique, no two are exactly the same. Witch Balls tend to be heavier than a regular ball, and can have a irregular surface from the formation of the strands inside. Color patterns and saturation vary from piece to piece as one would expect from a completely handmade art object. The size is about that of a apple, 4" diameter (the distance across). These balls are sealed, and will work well as pond floats. Let the magic of our glass artists protect your home. Iron Elegance does its best to provide accurate product details on Amazon.

There may be slight differences in color from the image on screen and color of the product you receive due to the user’s screen settings, photo lighting, surfaces photographed on, time of day the photo was taken, and filters applied.
