Know before you buy
This ornament is crafted from glass using the traditional European blown glass method. It is hand-blown into a mold to achieve its detailed bus shape.
The ornament includes a standard hanging loop at the top, though it does not come with a hook or ribbon. You will need to provide your own ornament hanger or string to display it on your tree.
No, this piece is designed exclusively for indoor use. The delicate glass construction and hand-painted details are not weather-resistant and should be kept away from outdoor elements.
Because it is made of glass and features hand-applied glitter and paint, it is best stored in a sturdy, padded box in a cool, dry place. Wrapping it in acid-free tissue paper will help protect the finish from scratching or fading.
While it has a solid feel due to the glass construction, it is lightweight enough for most standard artificial or real Christmas tree branches. If you have a very thin or sparse tree, place it closer to the trunk where the branches are sturdier.
