Achla Designs 6 Mandarin Crackle Glass Gazing Globe and Stand

The gazing globes, first known as "spheres of light" by Antonio Neri in 1612, date back to 13th century Venice. During the Victorian era, these mirrored ornaments gained popularity, providing a fish-eye view of the entire garden and believed to fend off misfortune while bringing happiness and joy. ACHLA Designs now offers these sparkling garden jewels, adding color, charm, and good luck to your outdoor space.

These glass balls are meticulously hand-blown using a layered technique, creating a crackly appearance over the colored glass and mirror finish, while maintaining structural integrity. The brilliant Mandarin orange glass will not fade over time and sunlight, and the mirrored interiors offer a reflective and brilliantly sparkling surface.

Each 6-inch diameter globe sits securely on a stem at the base, sealed with a rubber gasket to prevent moisture damage to the interior. The wrought iron Trestle Stand features spiked feet that can be easily pushed into soil, making it perfect for planters, intimate rock gardens, and garden beds. The complete set, including the ball and stand, measures 18 inches in height with a 6-inch diameter globe.
