Vintage 1996 glass ball ornament, hand-blown and hand-painted by Soffieria De Carlini in Italy exclusively for Saks Fifth Avenue.
Measurements: Approx. ___ in.
Design: A full wraparound garden design is painted on matte gold glass. It shows large white lilies with yellow centers, orange lilies, red wild strawberries and soft green and plum-tinged leaves with dark curling tendrils. A tiny hand-painted bumblebee and ladybug sit on the white blooms. The ornament has a gold crimped metal cap and a gold-edged ribbon hanger. It is signed "S5A" and dated 1996 near the bottom, along with the artist's signature.
Condition: Vintage, pre-owned, in good condition. There are a few tiny dark specks near the neck, plus small paint specks as is normal for hand-painted work. The ribbon ends are frayed. There are no chips or cracks. Please see the photos.
A good fit for collectors of Saks Fifth Avenue holiday pieces, De Carlini and Italian hand-blown glass. It also works as a charming accent for a gold or garden-themed tree, or as year-round décor on a stand.
