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. The Crackle Glass Toadstools are a colorful, sparkling version of that quintessential garden ornament, but shaped like another popular garden favorite, bringing a fairytale magic to the garden. The special glass is blown in a layered technique that gives a crackly appearance over the colored glass and mirror finish while retaining structural integrity. All Toadstools have a stem that allows them to sit securely in our wrought-iron Toadstool Stands. Available in twelve brilliant colors to complement any garden planting.
