- KugelHouse.com offers authentic, hand crafted recycled art glass decorations. Each art glass piece we create will never be identical to the photograph, only similar. When making handmade recycled art glass, it is impossible to recreate any piece identically. Our recycled art glass may reveal slight imperfections, possibly in the form of air bubbles, pontil and or hand tooling marks, glass and or color pattern irregularities, or even a slight asymmetrical form. These irregularities are an attribute of skilled human hand produced the art glass piece, rather than a mass producing machine and do not imply a defect of the product.
Images and Product Descriptions;
KugelHouse.com does our very best to provide accurate product details on KugelHouse.com, errors and omissions, typographical or description mistakes should not be construed as an attempt to deceive the buyer. We welcome your constructive feedback. Digital images that are displayed have the most accurate color possible. Products are made in small production runs from recycled glass, color may vary slightly between batches. There may also be some difference in color from the image you see on screen and the color of the product you receive due to lighting, screen, surfaces they appear on, the settings, time of day the photo was taken, and filters applied. Glass color “looks” different from natural light to fluorescent light. Note that when a sphere is presented as a flat image, the eye sees the color from both sides of the sphere.
Consumer Safety;
Our glass ornaments and witch balls do not represent a safety risk. However, you should be aware that glassware is fragile. If using it beyond the item’s ornamental intent, breakages can occur and broken glass is a significant injury hazard. Caution should be taken for proper handling, hanging, and display accessibility to children limited. Ornaments are not intended to be worn, nor rubbed on skin. Our blown glass ornaments ship protected and secure in recycled boxes with fragile marked packaging. Receiving a broken ornament is a very rare occurrence, although it is not impossible to avoid an occasional breakage while in transit.
