FAQs

Witch balls originated in 18th and 19th-century England, where they were traditionally hung in windows or near doorways to ward off evil spirits, witches, and ill fortune.

Authentic period pieces were mouth-blown using soda-lime or potash glass, often silvered on the interior with a mercury or silver nitrate solution to create a highly reflective mirror finish.

Authenticity is typically determined by the presence of pontil marks, hand-blown imperfections such as bubbles and striations, thin walled glass, and aged silvering oxidation inside the sphere.

These reflective spheres can be suspended from ceilings in natural light, displayed in wooden bowls on tabletops, or placed on mantelpieces to add texture, colour, and historical character.

They should be kept away from direct moisture and humidity to prevent further degradation of the internal silver lining, and cleaned only with a dry, soft microfibre cloth.
