Crackle Glass Ornament - Default Title (6801030)
Crackle Glass Ornament

Blending modern aesthetic with traditional craft, the Crackle Glass Ornament adds classic charm with real-world impact. Your purchase supports more than 80 girls from artisan families in Mumbai, India, who can now attend school. Traditional artisans achieve this classic crackle effect by blowing melted glass through a pipe into a round-shaped mold. Then, the bulb is immersed in cold water, creating the crinkle effect. It is heated one more time to give it strength.
