Consumers love the vibrant blue color and delightful detailing that evokes a vintage travel theme, making it a perfect accent for holiday trees or tiered displays. The quality ceramic material provides a substantial, collectible feel. While the item is generally well received and often gifted, some note the inherent fragility of ceramic.

Know before you buy
The design features the Penn State bus and mascot graphics wrapped around the ball, providing a detailed view from multiple angles.
Because each piece is artisan-made, you should expect slight variations in texture and brushwork. These small differences are intentional and give each ornament its own unique character.
No, this ceramic ornament is designed exclusively for indoor holiday display. Exposure to outdoor elements may damage the hand-painted finish.
It comes ready to hang with an attached festive ribbon and bell, so you do not need to purchase any additional hardware.
At 3.5 inches, the ornament has a solid, substantial feel typical of ceramic decor. It is best placed on a sturdy branch toward the center of your tree to ensure it hangs securely.
