Kitras Olde English Witch Ball
The Olde English Witch Ball
Witch Balls are hollow clear orbs with beautiful webbing pulled from bottom to top. Bubbles often appear in the smooth surface of the sphere, adding to the orb's intrigue and uniqueness.
Steeped in over 300 years of history, these orbs are an amusing and thought-provoking gift or decor piece for your home. Hang in a window, near your front entrance or in the garden.
Each Olde English Witch Ball 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
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 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!
