- Is this ornament glass or plastic?
- It is glass, with a matte blue finish. That gives it more weight and a cleaner surface than plastic, but it can break if it falls.
- How big is it compared with a standard ornament?
- It is extra large, well beyond the usual small bauble. Plan on hanging it where it has room, or resting it in a bowl rather than tucking it into a tight cluster.
- Will it hold up on a thin-branched tree?
- Glass in this size is heavy. Hang it on a sturdy inner branch or a wire hook near the trunk, not on a thin outer tip.
- Does the matte finish look different from a shiny ornament?
- Yes. Matte glass softens reflections, so it looks flatter and more muted than gloss. It pairs well with shiny silver or white pieces for contrast.
- Can I use it outdoors?
- It is best kept indoors. Glass and a matte coating handle wind, rain and freezing temperatures poorly.
- Is it sold as a single ornament?
- Yes, it is one ornament. If you want a matched look across a tree, you would need several.
