While focused upon the kugel you are gazing
Let your spirit round you on a journey that is clearly amazing

Spheres of light to brighten your home
cometh no evil in your house to roam

Catching the sun & reflecting the moon
Hung together a garden in bloom!

All different shapes; All different sizes
You can give them for every occasion that arises

Be creative: as no two are exactly alike
Hang from a window. Hang from a light.

Wherever you hang them they are sure to delight!

Whether floating on a pond, or hanging in a tree
Kugels are meant to be shared.. between you and me!

 

 

Originating in Germany, Kugels are the traditional choice for Christmas holiday decorations in central Europe.  Each Kugel is hand blown glass, and completely unique. Kugels are displayed from interior arches, ceiling fixtures, curtain rods, Christmas Trees, holiday garland, hand railings, or wherever you like.

Inspired by old world Christmas ornaments, these beautiful hand blown glass window kugel ornaments are traditionally known as symbols of friendship.  They sparkle in the light the way a good friend brings sparkle to your life.  The colors swirl and mingle across the surface of the ball enhancing each other just as the talents and varied personalities of your friends bring color to your life.  These balls have intriguing ripples and ridges making them a delight to touch as well as behold.

 

In Your Garden or Pond

Our blown glass balls are sealed air tight and therefore serve as beautiful accents floating on the surface of any water garden.  They have the added advantage of offering a hook, which can be used to drop a line anchoring the ball.  Without an anchor, free floating pond balls will cluster in one corner of the pond, but if weighted, our balls stay aesthetically placed.  We recommend the use of non-lead weights because lead could poison pond fish.

Floating glass balls may even protect your pond fish from predators.  Folklore suggests that raccoons are frightened by the shiny surface of the balls and will stop poaching your pond pets.

Add other splashes of color to your garden by hanging our blown glass balls from trees or on garden hooks.  They will withstand most weather conditions, as long as they can't swing and bump into a hard surface
