Collection: WITCH BALLS

Witch's Balls have been very popular since the 18th century. First in England, then in New England, but their actual origin is considered to be much older.  For well over 3 centuries hollow glass spheres have been hung in windows to ward off witch's spells, evil spirits and ill fortune.  Hanging these decorative glass balls in the window or on the porch is thought to tantalize mischievous spirits which may be threatening a home's tranquility.  The wayward 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 the glass inside the ball, deemed forever harmless. 

Witch Balls are hand blown glass spheres, with 3 to 5 strands inside for collecting evil spirits and the like. Each one is unique with color, strands, bubbles, and size. Iridized colors provide a reflective luster on the surface of the ball. Silver Nitrite colors create unique color variations, and color textures that compliment interior designs.

Our glass Witch Balls are made from recycled glass in the Carpathian Mountains; the land of superstition, old world mystery and storybook folklore. As the ball is molten hot, the glass is formed, the ball is rolled into colored glass granules to provide the design. With this process each of our Witch Balls are uniquely handcrafted and no two are alike. Let the magic of our Witch Balls decorate your home.
