FAQs

Originating in 18th-century England and popularised during the Victorian era, witch balls were hollow glass spheres hung in windows to ward off evil spirits and negative energy.

Traditional witch balls were hand-blown using glass, often featuring metallic silvering, painted speckled enamels, or internal swirl patterns, topped with metal caps for suspension.

Authentic 19th-century witch balls feature pontil marks from the blowpipe, slight air bubbles within the hand-blown glass, oxidisation on metal fittings, and uneven wall thickness.

Suspend a collection of varying sizes in a bay window, above a dining area, or near natural light sources where the reflective surfaces can catch incoming sunlight.

Wipe gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding liquid cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage original foil linings or aged metal caps.
