Named "Spheres of Light" by Antonio Neri in 1612, the first gazing globes date back to 13th century Venice. Popularized in the Victorian era, the mirrored finish provided a fish-eye view of the entire garden, and they were believed to fend off misfortune and deliver happiness and joy. Add color, charm, and good luck to your garden with these sparkling jewels from ACHLA Designs. The glass globes are blown in a layered technique that gives a crackly appearance over the colored glass and mirror finish while retaining structural integrity. All Crackle Glass Gazing Globes have a stem that allows them to sit securely in any of our gazing globe stands. Stands come in a wide array of sizes and styles. Globes are available in three sizes and thirteen colors.
- LIGHTS UP PATIO, PATHWAY, OR GARDEN - Achla Designs’ Celestial Globes provide magical decorative lighting to any outdoor patio area, walkway, or garden.
