WIth a soft mint glow and crackly textured surface, this unique ornament brings a touch of classy plus creative to your holiday tree.  Blending modern aesthetic with traditional craft, artisans achieve this classic crackle effect by blowing melted glass through a pipe into a round-shaped mold. Then, the bulb is immersed in cold water, creating the crinkle effect. It is heated one more time to give it strength.
