Know before you buy
This ornament is handmade in Poniklá, Czech Republic, using a traditional glass bead-blowing technique that dates back to 1902. It is produced by Rautis, the last company in the world to preserve this specific craft, which is officially recognized on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list.
While the ornament is crafted from sturdy glass and metal components, it remains a delicate, handcrafted item. It should be handled with care and stored in a protective container when not in use to prevent breakage.
The star ornament measures 2.5 inches in diameter, making it a versatile size for hanging on a Christmas tree, incorporating into a wreath, or displaying as part of a tabletop centerpiece.
The ornament is constructed using traditional glass beads and steel wire. These materials are assembled by hand to create the intricate star shape.
Because this piece is made of glass and wire, it is best displayed in a location where it will not be bumped or handled frequently. We recommend placing it higher up on a tree or on a decorative shelf away from high-traffic areas.
