An antique heavy glass Christmas ornament with an interior silver nitrate lining and a decorative embossed brass cap. Originating in Germany during the mid-19th century, Kugels were the first glass Christmas ornaments. Unlike modern thin-blown ornaments, these were made of heavy glass and lined with silver nitrate to create a mirror-like finish. They were originally designed to be hung from ceilings or windows year-round as witch balls to ward off evil spirits before becoming festive holiday decorations. $60.00 each or best other Just let me know what color you would like.
