Achla Designs 12-Inch Gazing Globe, Blue

Named “spheres of light” by Antonio Neri in 1612, the first gazing globes date back to 13th century Venice. Popularized in the Victorian era, the mirrored finish provided a fish-eye view of the entire garden and they were believed to fend off misfortune and deliver happiness and joy. Add color, charm, and good luck to your garden with these sparkling garden jewels from ACHLA Designs. These glass balls are blown in a layered technique that gives a crackly appearance over the colored glass and mirror finish while retaining structural integrity. In 11 brilliant colors that will not fade with the sun, and three diameter sizes, 6” 10” and 12”. All Crackle Glass Gazing Globes have a stem that allows them to sit securely in any of our gazing globe stands. Our wrought iron Gazing Globe Stands come in a wide array of sizes and styles for hard surfaces and spiking directly into lawn and garden beds.
