This hand-blown glass ornament pairs a red-and-white candy-striped, balloon-shaped piece finished with glitter along each stripe with a small painted Santa Claus figure suspended just beneath it on a linking wire.
Why this ornament: the two-part design gives it more visual depth than a single round ball, since the striped piece and Santa figure move somewhat independently on the tree; the glitter edging on each red and white stripe catches the light distinctly from the smooth painted Santa below; the pairing works as both a classic striped ornament and a character piece in one hang.
What's included: one linked two-part glass ornament, the striped piece with an attached Santa figure, with a hanging loop at the top.
This piece is hand-blown glass with hand-painted detail, so it should be hung and handled gently, taking extra care with the linking wire between the two pieces. It also suits garlands, wreaths, or as a topper for a wrapped gift.
A versatile pick for classic red-and-white tree schemes, and an interesting option for collectors who like ornaments with a bit of movement and structure beyond a single static shape.
