The interesting part of this glass Christmas tree topper is that the top of the finial was created by a master glass blower. Resembling the shape of an upside down icicle it sits above a matte red decorated ball. The artist adds silver glitter at the very top of the finial over the matte silver surface adding highlights of red with lines of silver glitter descending downward. A band of glitter separates the two and the ball portion has been decorated with a leafy style pattern all in silver glitter against the matte cobalt surface. Artists use same painting technique that was used in 1800's. Each glass finial is painted individually which makes them unique and adds some small variations to each product. Weight: 0.8 - 1 oz. Bottom opening varies from 0.5" to 0.8". Height: 10.5'' (270 mm). Made in Russia.
