Amelia Art Glass Friendship Balls

These beautiful mouth blown art glass Friendship Balls are from Amelia Art Glass - the same company that make the gorgeous art glass Reed Diffuser Bottles.  Traditionally Friendship Balls were made by glass blowers at the end of their shift, using left over glass from the days production.  The balls of glass would then be given as small gifts to their family and friends.

These beautiful mouth blown glass baubles are hand made using traditional glass blowing techniques.  They can be given at any time of year, but we think they'd be beautiful to hang on the Christmas tree too.  Each ball measures 80mm so is a nice size to hang in a bright window.  Each one is unique, so patterns and swirls in the glass will vary for each colour.  There is a glass hanging loop is at the top of each ball, and this has been threaded with satin ribbon. 

Please click on the images to see the various colours that are available, but please remember these are handmade - every one is unique with variations in the patterns and colours in the glass.

Each ball is presented in an Amelia Art Glass printed cardboard box (either white or grey with 2 open sides to show off the glass). 

Purple, Teal Lime - swirled patterns of coloured glass on a transparent ball - very pretty. 

White Teal Lime - has a pretty marbled white pattern with the transparent lime, teal and pink/purple glass. 

White Sage Blue - the image doesn't do these justice, there's more pastel blue and sage greens, very pretty satin finish.

Violet - shades of violet/purple on a transparent ball, some swirls have an opaque satin finish.

Turquoise White - pretty swirls of turquoise and white glass sometimes with a metallic sheen.

Red White - pretty swirls of red and white on transparent glass, some have an iridescent sheen. 

Pink Blue - pretty swirls of pink and aqua blue glass, shiny and satin patterns.

Pink White - pretty pastel baby pink and white swirls, shiny and satin finish.

Red Pink White - pretty shades of pink, red and white swirls and dots, some satin finish.

White Gold Nude - unusual apricot/browns with grey charcoal and white glass in a marbled pattern.

Multi-coloured - transparent ball with a variety of colours - blue, teal, green, yellow, pink or red patterns. 

White Multi-coloured - a white pattern with various shades of blue, teal, green, yellow, pink or red patterns.  

White - clear and white swirls of satin and shiny glass, image doesn't do these justice - very elegant. 

White Grey Frost - a beautiful monochrome design that's mainly opaque with splashes of white and metallic grey. (awaiting image)

I bought this one and 2 others for 3 close friends. They are a perfect gift for them; colourful, festive at this time of year, but also lovely to hang up all year round. I have one too and it catches the light from the window in which it hangs.

The gift wrapping was exceptional and can only add to the pleasure of receiving the gift itself.
I haven't looked at the Friendship Ball itself as it's a gift but I can't imagine it being any less than perfect for my friend

Ordered a friendship ball and had it gift wrapped...the package is beautifully wrapped and smells divine... And the glass ball that I ordered for myself blends in wonderfully with the tones in my living room.
A little Easter treat for myself and the bestie

I bought this as a gift for my friend. I was really pleased with how it was presented in a lovely box with ribbon and my personalised message added. My friend was over the moon with it. It made her feel special, which was the intention. Thank you Natroma.
