#1221 A 6-inch blown glass witches ball celestial orb with swirling colours And Tree Of Life. 6”

Witches' balls are decorative glass spheres, traditionally hung in windows by sailors in the 17th-century England to ward off evil spirits and protect their homes. These spheres, often made of blown glass, were believed to attract bad luck and ensnare it within the glass, preventing it from entering the home. They became popular decorative items, particularly during the Victorian era, and continue to be made today by glass artists. The "celestial orb" aspect suggests a connection to astronomical or mystical symbolism, often incorporating swirling colors that evoke nebulae, galaxies, or the night sky. These contemporary interpretations blend historical folklore with artistic expression, making them sought-after decorative pieces that carry a sense of mystery and wonder.
