Quick answerThis white glass ornament is a 5 in (120 mm) hand blown ball in pearly white, hand painted in Poland with a large red poinsettia on one side and a snowy village with a lit Christmas tree on the other, framed in gold glitter swirls. At 5 in it is the largest size we recommend for hanging on an average Christmas tree.
White glass ornaments let the painting do the talking. On this ball, the red poinsettia, the Christmas flower, stands out bright against a pearly white ground, with gold glitter swirls around it. Turn it, and a quiet winter village appears: a cottage, snow-covered trees and a Christmas tree hung with lights.
Front and back: the poinsettia and the winter village. 5 in (120 mm) across.

Front: a large red poinsettia with gold veins, green leaves and a cluster of gold beads at the centre.
Back: a winter village with a cottage, snowy blue-green trees and a Christmas tree with coloured lights.
Frame: gold glitter swirls, a gold crown cap and a loop for hanging.
Why the poinsettia?
The poinsettia flowers in December, and its red star shape has made it one of the best-loved Christmas plants. Painted on glass, it brings that colour to the tree without needing water.
Styling white glass ornaments
Red and white: a classic Christmas tree with red ribbons and white lights.
White and gold: the gold swirls tie in with gold balls, garlands and toppers.
A winter white tree: mix with silver and clear glass for a snowy look, with the poinsettia as a pop of colour.
Size and hanging
At 5 in (120 mm), this is the largest glass ball we recommend for an average tree. Hang it on a strong inner branch as a focal point, where it can turn to show both sides.
Made by hand, and care
The ball is mouth blown, lined with silver inside and painted by hand in Poland, so each one varies slightly. Dust with a soft, dry brush, keep water away from paint and glitter, and store it wrapped in tissue in a box.
