Handblown Glass Witch Ball XL by McDermott Glass Studio

Handmade by McDermott Glass Studio in Sandwich.

According to legends dating back to medieval times, the shiny surface of witch balls entice evil spirits into the ball and then the strands of glass inside capture the spirits and keep them from escaping. Some thought that witches would see the reflection of their intended victim in the ball and mistakenly curse the reflection instead of the actual person. Others believed that evil influences would gather as dust on the surface of the ball and could then be wiped away with regular cleaning. Either way, this unique and beautiful piece is sure to enhance your home.

Measures roughly 5" in diameter

Each piece is its own handcrafted work of art so size, color and pattern may vary.
