Hetty, I found this at the Flea Market today. She had a couple of different styles. They are 6" balls. She calls them "Fairy Balls" or "Spirit Balls". What I liked about these is that they were not just colored in the glass, but had threads of glass coming up inside the ball. Very cool! They cost about $16.00. The lady is willing to ship. The picture is not so great as I took it with my junky cell phone. She has a Facebook page at facebook.com/orchidlakecandles. She does not have the balls listed on her site, but I bet if you were interested, she would send you pictures of what she has. Smiling

Here are a few closer looks at the balls.
Two of them have the glass threads that run down thur the center of the balls.
The bottom of this one is especially pretty.

This green ball is thicker and more primitive looking with air bubbles in the glass a different look than the others but just as beautiful.

Gordon and Holly, those look like the ones I saw at the flea market! The one that I saw also has the threads of glass down the middle....I just did not know how to describe it! Hilarious!
