Know before you buy
This ornament is crafted from hand-blown glass, meaning it is hollow and lightweight, which makes it suitable for hanging on standard holiday tree branches.
While the glass is durable for display, it is delicate. We recommend handling it by the top cap and storing it in a padded box to protect the hand-painted finish and glitter embellishments.
No, this piece is designed exclusively for indoor use. Exposure to outdoor elements like moisture, direct sunlight, and temperature fluctuations can damage the hand-painted details and the glass structure.
Yes, the ornament is based on original artwork by Margaret Cobane, who focuses on capturing the authentic plumage and vibrant color patterns of the American Kestrel.
Because each piece is individually hand-painted, there may be slight variations in color application and detail. These subtle differences are a hallmark of the artisanal process and make each ornament unique.
