Know before you buy
The ornament measures five inches in height, making it a substantial piece that will stand out on a standard-sized Christmas tree.
No, this piece is designed exclusively for indoor use. Because it is made of hand-blown glass, it should be kept in a protected environment to prevent breakage and preserve the delicate paintwork.
The glitter accents are applied as a decorative finish to enhance the bird's features. While it is securely applied, it is normal for a small amount of loose glitter to shed when handling delicate glass ornaments.
This specific ornament is not personalizable. It is sold as a finished artist piece designed by Margaret Cobane.
To keep the hand-painted details and glass structure in pristine condition, we recommend wrapping the ornament in acid-free tissue paper and storing it in a sturdy, climate-controlled container away from direct sunlight.
