Know before you buy
This ornament is crafted from delicate blown glass, which is a hallmark of Old World Christmas ornaments. Because it is glass, it should be handled with care when decorating.
No, this piece is designed exclusively for indoor display. Exposure to outdoor elements like moisture and extreme temperature changes can damage the glass and the hand-painted finish.
No, this ornament is not lighted and does not require batteries. It relies on the reflection of your existing tree lights or room lighting to highlight its glitter finish.
The ornament stands 3 inches tall. Its compact size makes it versatile enough to fit on most standard-sized Christmas trees or as part of a tabletop holiday display.
As with most glitter-finished glass ornaments, some minor shedding may occur during handling. However, the glitter is applied to provide a festive shimmer and should remain intact with careful storage.
