Know before you buy

The finish is achieved by applying a specialized 'Magic' formula to the glass before it is heated in the furnace, creating a unique, shimmering effect on the surface.
These are handblown glass pieces, so they should be handled with the same care as any delicate glass ornament. They are intended for decorative use rather than play.
Yes, the vibrant color palette—including Amethyst, Cobalt, Ruby, Gold Topaz, and Green—is designed to complement one another. Their consistent size and iridescent finish make them easy to coordinate for a cohesive look.
