Antique Aqua German Kugel Crackle Mercury Glass Friendship Ball Ornament

Fantastic high crackle Kugel mercury glass friendship ball ornament from the late 19th century/early 20th century. Aqua or turquoise color with an ornate brass cap. From the Kugelhouse.com website: “In America these glass balls are marketed in many ways. Witch balls, spirit balls, spirit catchers, friendship balls, gazing balls, wishing balls, and so on. Each having a little bit of home grown folklore attached to make the item unique or extra special.” In excellent condition. Measures 3” across flat, 8.75” around with measuring tape, 4” tall to top of brass cap. I’ll polish the cap before shipping and add another photo of the polished piece.
