• Material: hand-blown glass with a mirror finish under a crackle layer
• Color: Lemon Drop yellow, saturated and sun-fade resistant

• Fit: the stem drops into standard gazing-globe stands, sold separately

A gazing globe is the oldest trick in the garden: one mirrored sphere that pulls the sky, the beds, and the light into a single bright point. The ACHLA Designs Lemon Drop globe does it in a warm lemon yellow, hand-blown with a layered technique that lays a web of crackle over the colored glass while the mirror finish underneath keeps throwing reflections. Pick the 6-inch for a planter or rock garden, the 10-inch for a border, or the 12-inch for a focal point you can see from the kitchen window.

Key Features

• Hand-blown crackle glass: each globe is blown by hand in a layered technique that creates the crackled surface over the colored glass while the piece keeps its structural integrity
• Mirror finish that reads from across the yard: the reflective interior bounces light and color, so the globe brightens a shady bed and glows in low evening sun
• Lemon Drop yellow that holds its color: deep, saturated glass made to resist fading with time and sunlight, unlike painted or coated ornaments
• Stem for secure placement: a stem at the base keeps the globe seated in a gazing-globe stand instead of rolling off a ring or cradle
• Rubber-sealed base: a rubber seal on the bottom prevents water and insects from getting inside, so you avoid the fogging and grime that ruin cheaper globes
• Three sizes for three jobs: the 6-inch suits planters and rock gardens, the 10-inch anchors a border, and the 12-inch becomes a full focal point

What's Included

In the box, one Lemon Drop crackle glass gazing globe in the size you select, with its integrated stem and rubber-sealed base. A stand or pedestal is not included.

Before You Buy

• The stand is sold separately. You receive the globe with its stem only, so plan on a gazing-globe stand, pedestal, or cradle that accepts a stemmed globe
• This is real glass. It will break if dropped onto stone or concrete, and water freezing around it can crack it, so bring it indoors before hard freezes and store it in its box over winter
• Color and crackle vary piece to piece. The hand-blown process means your globe will not match the photo exactly, and two globes side by side will differ slightly
• It does not light up. This is a mirrored glass ornament, not a solar light, so it reflects whatever light is around it rather than producing its own

Perfect For

• Adding a bright focal point to a shady perennial border
• Topping a wrought iron stand in a cottage garden
• Brightening a large patio planter with the 6-inch size
• Reflecting a pond, water feature, or birdbath from a garden bed
• Catching low evening light along a walkway or entry garden
• A housewarming or Mother's Day gift for the gardener who has every tool

Care & Use

• Wipe with a soft damp cloth and mild soap, then dry; skip abrasive pads and harsh chemicals, which can scratch the glass.
• Seat the stem fully in the stand and check that the stand is level and anchored so wind cannot tip the globe.
• Lift the globe by the body with both hands, never by the stem alone.
• Bring it indoors before hard freezes and store it in its box over winter.
• Keep it away from play areas and pets that could knock it onto a hard surface.
