Know before you buy
These ornaments are hand-crafted in the Czech Republic using traditional glass bead blowing techniques. The beads are strung together on steel wire to create the star shape, a method that has been preserved by the Rautis family since 1902.
No, this ornament is designed exclusively for indoor display. The delicate glass beads and wire construction are not weather-resistant and should be kept in a climate-controlled environment.
Because each piece is individually hand-crafted, there may be slight variations in the finish and assembly. This ensures that every ornament is a unique work of art rather than a mass-produced item.
Due to the delicate nature of the glass beads and wire, store your ornament in a sturdy box with soft padding. Avoid placing heavy items on top of it to prevent the wire from bending or the glass from cracking.
The traditional Krkonoše glass bead craft used to create these ornaments is recognized as part of the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. This designation highlights the historical importance and the specialized, rare skills required to keep this centuries-old tradition alive.
