Know before you buy
Yes, each Snowball Ornament is individually crafted by Ron Hinkle Glass. Because they are handmade, you can expect slight variations in the glass texture and color distribution, making every piece unique.
The ornament measures approximately 3.5 inches in diameter. While it is made of solid glass, it is designed for standard holiday tree branches and should hang securely on most sturdy artificial or real trees.
The texture is achieved by incorporating partially melted, knobby glass pieces into the surface of the ornament during the glassblowing process. This creates a tactile, organic look that mimics the appearance of a packed snowball.
The colors are vibrant and saturated, but because the glass is handmade, the intensity and transparency may vary slightly between individual pieces. The 'Crystal' option is clear, while colors like 'Cobalt' and 'Ruby' offer deeper, more saturated tones.
To protect the textured surface and prevent breakage, wrap each ornament individually in acid-free tissue paper or bubble wrap. Store them in a rigid container in a climate-controlled area to avoid extreme temperature fluctuations.
