Get an instant stash of a dozen vintage novelty Christmas glass ball ornaments in different designs, colors, and sizes! These are considered vintage novelty ornaments because they aren’t just a solid color ball. They are balls but have beautiful stencils that are hand painted or covered in mica.

There are so many ways to use these ornaments—on the Christmas tree, of course, as well as displayed in bowls, on plates, scattered among your other decorations, and more.

They are different colors, but overall include pink, blue, red, white, gold, silver, and an ombre pink and green. Please see the pictures for the different designs. They range from 2 ½” to 3” including the necks. A couple of plastic caps that say “Made in Austria,” which indicates they were made in the 1940s because of the shortage of metal.

These balls have the gorgeous patina of vintage glass balls that just can’t be replicated with new ones. But along with that beauty comes age marks—some scratches, crazing, fading, spots, discoloring, paint loss, rust or tarnish on the caps, or other imperfections. Some of the mica or paint might be rubbed away. See pics.

I have more pictures than I was able to post—let me know if you want to see them.
