Know before you buy
Designed by Taf Lebel Schaefer, this piece revives the historical tradition of using a cool, smooth object to soothe the palms. It is crafted to provide a refreshing sensation when held, making it a functional accessory for social settings as well as a decorative crystal figurine.
The piece is crafted from high-quality, durable Steuben crystal. While it is designed to be held and enjoyed, it should be handled with the same care as any fine crystal object to avoid chips or scratches.
Because of its delicately balanced design, it rests beautifully on any flat surface. For a more elevated presentation, we recommend pairing it with the 3.5-inch round black granite base, which provides a stable and sophisticated foundation.
To maintain its polished finish, simply wipe the crystal with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could dull the clarity of the material.
No, this piece is intended for indoor use only. Exposure to extreme temperature fluctuations or direct outdoor elements may affect the integrity and appearance of the crystal.
