Story

The story tag reads “This beautiful handblown glass window ornament is traditionally known as a symbol of friendship. It sparkles in the light, the way a good friend brings sparkle to your life. The colours swirl and mingle across the surface of the ball enhancing each other, just as the talents and varied personalities of your friends bring colour to your life. This ball has intriguing ripples and ridges making it a delight to touch, as well as behold. Just like friends - no two are alike.”

Use & Care

Use a strong ribbon or fishing line to hang your ornament. The plastic hang tag is not intended to be a hanging medium and is not strong enough to hang your ornament over the long term. 

However you choose to hang your Kitras ornament, indoors or outdoors, periodically check that the hanging medium is still sound and make any necessary adjustments.

To clean your Kitras Art Glass ornament 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!

When used as a pond ball, ensure you anchor the Calico Ball by attaching a line from the hang loop to a weight that rests on the bottom of the pond. Remove the Calico Ball from the water before it freezes in the winter to avoid cracking!
