6 Teal Crackle Glass Gazing Globe and Stand by ACHLA DESIGNS (For Consumers)

The first gazing globes, known as "spheres of light" by Antonio Neri in 1612, can be traced back to 13th century Venice. These globes gained popularity during the Victorian era, as their mirrored finish provided a unique perspective of the entire garden. It was believed that these globes could ward off misfortune and bring happiness and joy. If you want to add color, charm, and good luck to your garden, look no further than the sparkling garden jewels from ACHLA Designs.

These glass balls are carefully blown using a layered technique, resulting in a crackly appearance over the colored glass and mirror finish, without compromising their structural strength. The Trestle Stand, featuring three hand-forged leaves, delicately cradles the gazing ball, offering reliable support. The spiked feet at the base of the stand can be easily pushed into plantings, lawns, or garden beds, keeping the globe securely in place.

Originally a traditional garden ornament in Victorian England, the Gazing Ball's mirrored finish allowed for a fish-eye view of the entire garden, believed to bring good fortune and joy. ACHLA Designs' sparkling garden jewels offer the same benefits, adding color, charm, and good luck to your garden.

These globes are hand-blown using a layered technique that creates a crackly appearance over the colored glass finish, while still maintaining their structural integrity. The rich and brilliant Teal glass used in these globes will not fade over time and is resistant to sunlight. The interiors of the globes are mirrored, providing a reflective and brilliantly sparkling surface.

Each globe measures 6 inches in diameter and features a stem at the base that securely holds it in the stand. To protect the interior from moisture damage, the base is sealed with a rubber gasket.

The wrought iron Trestle Stand is equipped with spiked feet that can be easily pushed into the soil, making it perfect for planters, intimate rock gardens, and garden beds. When assembled, the Ball and Stand measure 18 inches in height, with a 6-inch diameter globe.
