Twinkle Star Ornament — Crushed Glass & Pottery

There is a certain magic to decorating a tree slowly, ornament by ornament, each one carrying a memory or a feeling. This crushed glass star ornament is the kind of piece you pause on — a five-pointed Twinkle Star set in warm clay, its royal blue-green tips meeting a center of soft, twinkling white crackle glass that glows gently in the tree's light. It evokes a quiet winter evening, a snow-dusted window, the particular contentment of a home dressed for the season.

The crackle glass surface is smooth to the touch despite all that visual complexity, each fracture of the glass locked permanently into the clay after firing. Each glass pottery star ornament reads differently in different light — warmer by candlelight, brighter under string lights, and alive with cool blue-green depth in morning sun. Substantial enough to feel like a real heirloom, and shaped with enough detail to reward anyone who takes a closer look. One reviewer put it simply: "it twinkles in the Christmas tree."

The star is a shape we love, and it runs through the whole Paloma Pottery line. If this crushed glass pottery star ornament catches your eye, you might also enjoy our Star Earrings and Pendants, our six-pointed Star Fridge Magnet, or our Sea Star Wall Hook — each one a different take on the same enduring symbol. This ornament arrives on a 1.5" waxed cotton cord, stamped with our commemorative hallmark, with gift wrapping available at checkout.
