Know before you buy
This ornament uses a traditional reverse glass painting technique. The artist, Paul March, inserts specialized brushes through the small opening of the glass globe to paint the design from the inside out.
Because each piece is hand-painted, no two ornaments are exactly alike. You should expect slight variations in brushwork and detail, which gives every piece its own unique character.
The ornament is a standard 3-inch diameter glass ball, making it a versatile size for most holiday trees or decorative displays.
No, this piece is designed exclusively for indoor use. The delicate hand-painted glass finish is not weather-resistant and should be kept in a climate-controlled environment.
No, this specific ornament is not personalizable. It features the artist's original Boston skyline design as intended.
