Kurt Adler Hot Air Balloon Ornament

Yes, this piece is crafted using traditional European glass-blowing techniques. Because it is made of actual glass, it requires careful handling and storage compared to plastic or resin alternatives.

While the ornament is finished with glitter for a reflective, festive look, some minor shedding is normal with hand-finished glass ornaments. We recommend gently shaking it over a surface before hanging to remove any loose particles.

No, this ornament is designed exclusively for indoor use. The delicate glass construction and hand-painted finish are not weather-resistant and should be kept away from moisture and extreme temperature fluctuations.

Because each piece is hand-blown and hand-painted, there will be slight variations in the color application and detailing. This artisanal process means your ornament will be unique, though it will closely match the style and theme shown.

To protect the glass and the hand-painted finish, wrap the ornament in acid-free tissue paper or bubble wrap. Store it in a sturdy, climate-controlled container away from heavy items that could crush it.
