AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Pair of large Kugel-style Christmas glass balls (crackled glass) — 18 cm — Egg/oval shape — Amber/burnt orange

Object description

Description:
Beau­tiful and rare pair of large egg/oval-shaped Christmas decorations, Kugel type. These exceptional pieces stand out for their impressive size and their magnificent burnt amber / orange color, a particularly bright and warm hue that beautifully catches the light.
Made of heavy blown glass, they feature a superb crackled exterior finish that adds a lot of texture and character. They are topped with their original metal caps and suspension rings, patinated by time. Thanks to their slightly flattened base, these XL-format pieces can be hung or simply placed stably on a piece of furniture, a bookshelf, or in a decorative bowl as charming interior decorative objects.

Features & dimensions:
• Material: Crackled blown glass and metal
• Shape: Egg / Oval (flat base)
• Color: Amber / burnt orange
• Quantity: Set of 2 pieces
• Height: 18 cm (Rare XL format)
• Weight: [To be completed if you have a scale, as the heavy glass of this size is a good quality indicator for the expert]

Condition:
Very good overall aesthetic condition. Nice patina of wear on the metal caps that testifies to their authenticity. The crackled glass is superb, with no structural cracks or major chips (the crackled texture is an inherent part of the artisanal manufacturing process).
Please carefully examine the photos, which are an integral part of the description of the condition.

Shipping:
Professional ultra-secure packaging with double protection (bubble wrap and strong cardboard) to guarantee safe transport for these large glass pieces. Fast shipping with tracking number and insurance.
