Texture multiplies reflection
A smooth silver ball shows one reflection. The ribs on the round piece and the hobnail dots on the oval break the mirror into dozens of small highlights, so both sparkle more than their size suggests.

Two mirrored heirloom shapes with crown caps, made to be noticed up close
At a Glance
- Set: 2 ornaments, 1 of each design
- Size: 2.7 x 3.8 x 2.8 in and 2.4 x 3.85 x 2.5 in
- Material: glass and metal
- Color: silver
- Details: ribbed and hobnail textures, ornate crown caps
- Use: indoor only
This pair gives you two textures in one mirrored silver finish. One is a round ball with vertical ribs that break the reflection into bright stripes; the other is an oval covered in raised hobnail dots in the manner of a pinecone. Both are glass with a mercury-style silver surface and are topped with an ornate metal crown cap, the kind of detail found on old European ornaments. Each stands under 4 in tall and hangs lightly. Use them as a focal pair near eye level on the tree, set them in a bowl with greenery, or hang them from a mantel garland.
Key Features
- Mercury-style silver glass: a soft mirrored finish that reflects lights and greenery.
- Two textures: a ribbed round ball and a hobnail textured oval.
- Ornate crown caps: decorative metal caps finish the top of each piece.
- Light to hang: small glass pieces that sit easily on mid-tier branches.
- Pairs with any metallic: silver works beside gold, champagne, white and navy.
What's Included
In the box: two silver mercury-style glass Christmas ornaments with ornate metal crown caps, one ribbed round ball and one hobnail textured oval.
Before You Buy
- Both pieces are glass. They are breakable and the metal caps are decorative, so handle gently and hang out of reach of pets.
- One of each design. The set is a single ribbed ball and a single hobnail oval, not two matching pieces.
- Sizes are measured. The ribbed ball is 2.7 x 3.8 x 2.8 in and the hobnail oval is 2.4 x 3.85 x 2.5 in.
- Indoor use only. The mirrored finish should stay dry and indoors.
Perfect For
- Silver and white holiday trees
- Vintage and heirloom-style decorating
- Mixed-metal glam schemes
- Small tabletop trees and wreaths
- Bowl and cloche displays
Care & Use
- Dust with a soft, dry cloth; do not use glass cleaner on the mirrored finish.
- Hang by the cap loop on a branch that holds the ornament clear of others.
- Store each piece wrapped in tissue in its own compartment.
- Keep away from humid rooms to protect the silver surface.

Each piece is wrapped and cushioned for the trip. Ships fast from CurbGo with tracking.
Why a pair of mercury glass pieces matters
The cap is part of the design
Most ornaments hide a plain cap under the hanger. These wear an ornate metal crown that reads as a finished detail, which is why they look right in a bowl or cloche as well as on the tree.
Two to start a collection
One ribbed and one hobnail piece give you a pair to feature at eye level or to mix into a tree of plain silver balls, where their texture stands out against the smooth ones.
