Hand Blown Glass Ornament - Aubergine

A delicate heirloom ornament for your tree that will delight for generations. Each bauble is delicately hand-blown, ensuring a unique and timeless quality. 

The earthy yet elegant aubergine colour will blend in marvellously with traditional or contemporary holiday decor. We recommend finishing it with our velvet ribbon for a delightfully festive flair. 

A Bit of History
For thousands of years, glass blowing has been a part of Egypt’s cultural heritage. The earliest recorded glass like material was found in the Dahshur region, which was used for mosaics & beads. Today, Cairo’s glassblowers have taken a more sustainable approach to the craft. This is through collecting used bottles from around the city, washing, sorting, breaking and melting them in a 1500 degrees Celsius kiln and finally mouth blowing them into a variety of shapes to create imperfect forms with tiny bubbles that represent the material’s once liquid state. 

Handcrafted Product Disclaimer
As this ornament has been hand blown, no two are exactly the same and variations are to be expected in size and shape. This quality is something we love most about holiday ornaments as we feel it provides valuable depth, appeal, and even a bit of nostalgia! We hope you feel the same.
