I remember the summer day I walked into a gorgeous country garden and saw beautiful colored glass garden art hanging from the trees. It was a revelation and a delight!
Until then, it never occurred to me that glass ornaments could be left outside. Now I hang my hand-blown glass balls from my pergola every spring, where they stay until late fall.
The colors of this beautiful art glass are even more striking when the sunlight shines through. The final touch is my stunning blue glass oil lamp which perfectly compliments the three red and blue hanging ornaments.
Kitras Art Glass
Kitras Art Glass makes my favorite glass ornaments and oil lamps. Each hand-blown piece is unique, and the colors are mesmerizing.
I have several Kitras Tree of Enchantment oil lamps at home, including the trees of winter and autumn.
The Tree of Winter sits in the center of my patio table, complemented on each site by two tealight holders in the same gorgeous shade of blue. The oil lamp is surprisingly bright. Much brighter than candles. And on a still night, the flame from the oil lamp stands tall and straight, embracing us in its warm glow.
I leave my oil lamp out day and night, except when it rains, because if water seeps into the lamp, it dilutes the oil making it difficult to light.
Kitras Art Glass comes in several different designs. In addition to the glass balls in several sizes from 2″ to 10″, they also create hearts, starfish and angels. They can be hung inside near a window to catch the light, or outside on a tree, and they make beautiful, unique gifts!

Kitras Art Glass’s most popular products are their 6″ glass ornaments, also known as glass orbs, friendship balls or fairy balls. Their Tree of Enchantment line is their signature creation. “Like trees in a forest, no two are alike.”
Glass Garden Decor
When you think of garden decor, statues are not the first things that come to mind. But these cute and colorful glass statues and garden stakes might change your mind.
Each of these glass bird garden sculptures has a sturdy metal frame with an iridescent glass body that reflects the sun, and a weather-resistant finish so you can leave them out year-round. These birds are approximately 11-12″ tall.
In gorgeous shades of blue, these swirled glass solar garden stakes are gorgeous in both the day and night. Choose from a turtle or snail, or get both if you can’t decide. The stakes are 20″- 21″ tall, and the turtle and snail are approximately 5″ wide.
With big eyes and a yellow belly that glows in the dark this glass frog solar garden stake is a charmer. Crafted from artfully mottled glass, in shades of green, this fun and functional fellow is 3½” wide and 22½” tall.
For fungi fans, these colorful mushroom solar garden stakes add a touch of whimsy to a planter or flowerbed. Each of these multicolor glass mushrooms is hand-blown and unique. They are 3½” wide and 14″ tall.
Crackle Glass Solar Lights
I love the look of crackle glass and a couple of years ago I bought a dozen crackle glass solar lights for my garden. I left a few out over the winter – the coldest I can ever remember – and they survived and continued to shine!
Illuminate your evenings with a crackle glass teardrop solar lantern, a blend of elegance and functionality.
Its etched interior creates a stunning translucent ‘crackle’ effect, further enhanced by its jewel-like color, adding a touch of sophistication to your patio or deck.
Available in blue, teal, and yellow, these lanterns are 7″ high and come with an aluminum carry handle.
These crackle glass lanterns and path lights add beauty in the day and up to 10 hours of light at night from the solar-powered LED lights. Choose between warm white, which gives a soft glow, or color-changing.
