In our store you can buy glass balls ranging from 2 to 5 inches in diameter.

Probably, it is the most available way to give special look to your Christmas tree with unique mouth-blown glass balls from The Russian Store.
The free mouth blowing lies in free casting of an article without any mold. The master takes a small sparkling glass ball on the end of a glass blowing tube, quickly blows out it into a sphere, rotates it adjusting periodically by wooden bars, and throws the tube over from one hand to another, at the same time revolving it. The sphere receives the shapes planned by the master. Achieved object is then taken from the tube and placed on the metal pivot in order to process it for shaping an appropriate size. Each master has his "own eye" and his "own hand" rotating the tube with the liquid glass, and his own fantasy, while performing the work being created. The distinctive features of blown articles are extremely thin walls, high transparency, and more complicated and diverse shapes.
After being hand-blown and molded to perfection, the inside of each ornament is coated with real silver. A meticulous process of hand painting follows, producing a one-of-a kind ornament rich in color and luxurious details. These ornaments stand as a direct contrast to many of the synthetic, mass-produced ornaments.
Your Christmas tree just isn't complete without absolutely charming hand painted wooden balls. These are covered with high-gloss finish depicting various Christmas subjects and provided with attractive ribbons. You can hang them on the Christmas tree or simply hand over as a gift.
What's more, wooden balls, offered by The Russian Store, can open up, and that will certainly please your children and your guests. Put in a cute surprise and then reveal it on the Christmas night, wondering if it was Santa who put presents inside wooden balls.
Owing to these original ornaments, the product of highly artistic mastery of Russian craftsmen, a unique atmosphere of mysteriousness, enlivening, joy and merriment will set up in your house.
