Holiday Bauble

Hand-painted glass
Each bauble is unique

The bauble descends from the 'witch’s ball', which were also hollow spheres of glass historically hung in cottage windows to ward off spirits.

According to folk tales, witch balls would entice evil spirits with their bright colours, capture them and prevent them from escaping. Another tradition contends that witch balls were used to avert the evil eye - distracting the gaze on itself it order to prevent harm coming onto the house and its inhabitants.
