Know before you buy
While the ornament is crafted with durable glass techniques, it is still a glass product. The 'shatterproof' designation refers to its resilience compared to traditional, thin-blown glass, but it should still be handled with care to prevent breakage.
The volcanic ash is integrated into the glass during the blowing process. It typically appears as subtle, fine particles or swirls within the design, adding a unique historical texture rather than being a prominent, opaque feature.
No, each piece is individually handcrafted by artisans in Seattle. Because of the nature of glassblowing, the specific swirl patterns, color intensity, and placement of the dichroic glass will vary slightly, making every ornament a one-of-a-kind piece.
This ornament is designed specifically for indoor use. Exposure to extreme temperature fluctuations and outdoor elements can compromise the integrity of the glass and the decorative finishes over time.
The ornament includes a loop for hanging, but it typically does not come with a specific hook or ribbon. You will need to provide your own ornament hanger or decorative ribbon to display it on your tree.
To clean, gently wipe the surface with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. For storage, keep it in a padded box in a climate-controlled area to protect the glass from scratches and accidental impacts.
