Know before you buy
This piece is hand-crafted using a traditional glass bead blowing technique that dates back to 1902. The beads are assembled on steel wire, a method preserved by Rautis in the Czech Republic and recognized as UNESCO cultural heritage.
While the glass beads are sturdy, they are still delicate by nature. We recommend handling the topper with care during placement and storing it in a safe, padded container when not in use.
The topper measures 7 inches in diameter. Its lightweight construction is designed to sit securely atop most standard-sized Christmas trees.
Every piece is authentic Czech craftsmanship, hand-manufactured in the village of Poniklá, Czech Republic, by Rautis.
The topper is designed with a wire base that fits over the top branch of a tree. Because it is hand-crafted, you may need to gently adjust the top branch or use a small amount of floral wire to ensure it sits perfectly upright.
