Popularized in the Victorian era, the mirrored finish of the Gazing Ball provided a fish-eye view of the entire garden and was believed to fend off misfortune and deliver happiness and joy. A striking ornament in the garden, usually made of blown glass, gazing globes need a stand to keep them secure and on view. This Helix Gazing Globe Stand works well for your shorter stand needs, on solid surfaces or in low garden borders. This version can nestle your gazing globe amongst shorter plantings or a container collection. Constructed of solid wrought iron, the unique Helix design is delicate, yet holds the globe securely. Our Achla Designs Gazing Globes have a stem is captured in the tubular section at the top of the stand, ensuring the globe will stay seated in place.
