"Kugel" is the German word for a traditional European House Ornament. While the general term used in America is Friendship Ball, we refer to our glass friendship balls as Kugels because they are similar to European ones. For our purposes, a Kugel is a handblown glass ball uses for decorating purposes.Kugels are made with either a glass or brass loop at the top for hanging with a wire or ribbon. We have many shapes besides round, including shapes of orbs, bells, or diamonds.
All our Kugels are hand made, mouth blown, recycled glass. Most are made with German glass color but some are hand decorated with special glass paints that are permanently baked on. Our Kugels range in size from 2 inches to 12 inches in diameter. We also carry a variety of other types of glass balls including Witch Balls and our newest edition of Spirit Tree Witch Balls.
Witch Balls are stranded Friendship Balls or Kugels which are also know as Spirit Balls or Fairy Balls.
Not only do we have Witch Balls and Friendship Balls, we also carry a wide variety of Gazing Balls.
Our Glass Balls are also used to produce other unique items such as Hummingbird Feeders and Watering Balls.
Finally, we carry a line of decorative hangers and supports to complement your glass ball purchase.
