Spirit Ball // Cobalt & Green

Every piece at Kitras Glassworks begins as a glowing gather of molten glass, pulled from a 2,100°F furnace. Nicholas’s hands move with the precision of decades, twisting, blowing, and sculpting, while Ankeeta puts the finishing touch on each piece and makes sure every piece is of the highest quality. 

When the first settlers arrived to North America, they would put hollow glass spheres around their homes to ward off witch spells and evil spirts. It was thought that the beauty of the glass would lure the ill fortune away and trap it inside the sphere. Witch balls have been associated with many legends and superstitions for over 300 years.

SIZE:
