This listing is for a beautiful, authentic matching set of five (5) antique German mercury glass Kugel ornaments, dating back to the late Victorian / Edwardian era (ca. 1880–1910).Unlike standard round kugels, these feature the highly sought-after ribbed melon/pumpkin shape, which was hand-blown into a two-part mold.Authenticity & Technical Details: Size: Approx. 4.3 inches long (11 cm) by 3.15 inches wide (8 cm) — a fantastic, substantial size that stands out beautifully on a tree or in a holiday display.

Neck & Cap: Every ornament features the correct, authentic flat-cut and fire-polished flush neck. Four of the original aged dark metal caps are still securely attached, while one sits loosely, allowing the original antique neck to be clearly seen — a strong confirmation of their late-19th-century origin. All retain their heavy-gauge iron spring-leg hanging wires. Craftsmanship: A faint, smooth mold seam is visible on the sides, showcasing the historic mold-blown production method. The interiors are lined with original silver nitrate mirroring.Besides Christmas décor they also look striking in Victorian, Gothic, Dark Academia or Hollywood Regency interiors.Details Type: Kugel ornaments Quantity: set of 5 Shape: ribbed melon / pumpkin Material: mercury glass Color: ruby red over silver Origin: Germany Period: circa 1880–1910 Caps: original dark metal (four glued, one loose showing original neck) Measurements Length 11 cm / 4.3 in each Width 8 cm / 3.15 in each Weight 180–210 g / 6.3–7.4 oz eachShipping policy: Shipping worldwide: $37.95.
