Know before you buy
This ornament is hand-crafted from delicate glass beads held together by a steel wire structure.
The ornament measures 3.25 inches in diameter, making it a versatile size for most standard-sized Christmas trees.
No, this piece is designed for indoor use only. Due to the delicate nature of the glass beads and wire construction, it should be kept in a climate-controlled environment.
This piece is hand-manufactured by Rautis in Poniklá, Czech Republic, using a traditional glass bead-blowing craft that dates back to 1902. Rautis is the last company in the world to practice this specific technique, which is officially recognized by UNESCO.
Because the ornament is delicate, it should be stored in a sturdy box with soft padding to prevent the glass beads from cracking or the wire frame from bending. Avoid placing heavy items on top of the storage container.
