Know before you buy
This piece is crafted from solid art glass, giving it a substantial weight and a high-quality feel that reflects its premium craftsmanship.
To maintain the shiny finish, gently wipe the figurine with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, as these can scratch the polished surface.
No, the Berry Tales Black is designed exclusively for indoor use. Exposure to direct sunlight, temperature fluctuations, or moisture outdoors could damage the glass or affect its finish over time.
The black glass is opaque, providing a deep, rich color that emphasizes the unique, bulbous silhouette of the piece. It is designed to catch light on its polished surface rather than transmit it.
Because each Berry Tales figurine is individually handcrafted at the Kosta Glassworks, there may be subtle variations in the glass. These slight differences are a hallmark of the artisanal process and make each piece unique.
As a piece of fine art glass, it is fragile and should be handled with care. We recommend placing it on a stable, level surface away from the edges of shelves or high-traffic areas where it could be accidentally bumped.
