Each Olde English Witch Ball Oil Lamp has the same thoughtful and informative sentiment story.

Story

The story tag reads "Witch Balls were very popular in 18th century England, but their actual origin is thought to be much older. For well over 300 years hollow glass spheres have been hung in windows to ward off witch spells, evil spirits and ill fortune. Hanging these decorative balls in the window is thought to tantalize evil spirits that may be threatening a home's tranquility. The evil spirit is mesmerized by the ball's reflective beauty. When the spirit touches the sphere, it is absorbed and trapped in the web-like strands of glass inside the ball."

Use & Care

To clean your Kitras Art Glass item use a damp cloth and lightly rub it around the outside of the glass. Do this when you notice the glass has lost some of its brilliance. A simple cleaning will bring the sparkle back!

The oil lamp purchase includes a wick. Adequately soak the wick in a clean burning paraffin oil before lighting it for the first time.

Paraffin oil can be purchased here. 

Replacement wicks can purchased here.
