Quick answerThis blue glass Christmas ornament is a 5 in (120 mm) hand blown ball in deep navy, hand painted in Poland: on one side a snowy village with golden-roofed cottages and a lit Christmas tree, on the other a large red poinsettia, all framed in gold glitter swirls. At 5 in it is the largest size we recommend for hanging on an average Christmas tree.

Navy is the colour of a winter sky just after sunset, and this ornament paints exactly that: a small village under falling snow, its roofs catching the last gold light, a Christmas tree glowing with coloured lights between the houses. Turn the ball and a red poinsettia fills the other side.

  • Front: cottages with golden roofs, snow-laden blue-white trees, and a Christmas tree dotted with red, yellow and green lights.

  • Frame: gold glitter swirls around both scenes, a gold crown cap and a loop for hanging.

Why a 5 in blue glass ornament

At 5 in (120 mm), this is the largest glass ball we recommend for hanging on an average Christmas tree. Hang it on a strong inner branch as a focal point, where both sides can be seen as it turns. Larger 6 in and 8 in versions of this design are display pieces and come with a stand in the box.

Styling navy glass ornaments

  • Blue and gold: pair with gold balls and warm white lights for a rich, traditional tree.
  • Blue and silver: mix with silver and white ornaments for a cool winter look.
  • Red accents: the poinsettia ties in with red ribbons or berries on the tree.

Made by hand

The ball is mouth blown, lined with silver inside so the navy glows under lights, and painted by hand in Poland. Because each one is painted individually, the village and the poinsettia vary slightly from ball to ball.

Care

Hang it by the cap loop and check the cap sits snugly on the glass neck. Dust with a soft, dry brush, keep water away from paint and glitter, and store it wrapped in tissue in a box.
