What Makes It Uncommon

Enchanted Forest

Beauty, elegance and heartfelt sentiment are at the root of artist Stephen Kitras latest collection of glass globes. Hand blown of 100% recycled glass, this series features Kitras' signature ability to create a delicate interior trunk within the globe. Vibrant splashes of color add the finishing touch on these one-of-a-kind home accents. Use your own sturdy wire, translucent fishing wire, or ribbon to hang the globe. We suggest a Globe Display Stand from our collection to show off your new glass artwork. Handmade in Canada.

Tree of Tranquility
Calm stillness can be a sanctuary, settling over you like a gentle breeze. The Tree of Tranquility reminds us to let go of our anxieties and embrace the tranquil peace of a quiet mind.

Tree of Peace
The beauty and tranquility of nature in essence captures the meaning of peace. Like a tree growing in harmony with the forest that surrounds it, peace brings with it a message of tolerance, acceptance and compassion.

Tree of Love
There is no greater gift in the world than the gift love. Like a tree, love grows stronger and more beautiful with time. The Tree of Love represents the countless blessings the love brings into our lives.

Tree of Happiness
When you realize that your fulfillment in life comes from all that surrounds you, you've reached a true state of happiness. When we look at a tree full of life swaying in the wind to the rhythm of life, we are reminded of the pure bliss that is happiness.

Why glass? Compared to other media I've worked in, such as iron and ceramic, glass is immediate and responds right away to any design decisions that I make.

The mantra "when surrounded by beauty, the spirit is uplifted" embodies the mission of Kitras Art Glass. Stephen Kitras began work as a glassblower in 1988, and in 1994 he formed Kitras Art Glass with his wife, Elke. By 2001 the company had expanded to over 40 employees and a new facility. It is Stephen's goal is to design and produce affordable glass art objects to enhance the lives of others. "I think it’s good to make beautiful things and celebrate beautiful moments," he says. "They happen every day, all around us."

Family trees

This gift was wonderful and meaningful to me. As a new addition to a family I felt it fitting to show every member the love shared by family especially during this Christmas season. The oohs and aahs as the presents were opened definitely proved this was the right gift at the right time.


They're lovely but they didn't "wow" me like the first one

I bought two for two different friends. One is a "family" tree globe, the other is a "friendship" tree globe. They are lovely but look they just the same, same colors, etc. I was expecting two very different looks (at least in color!) as shown in the pictures. - which reflect such beauty. But these look the same so I'm kind of disappointed. I bought one of these several years ago for another friend and it was gorgeous. These are lovely but I had higher expectations based on my earlier purchase and from the picture. I'm not entirely satisfied but overall I would still recommend.


Great Quality

These globes are beautifully made. High quality and simply elegant! Recommend buying the stand as well, it's the perfect display for the globes.


I would buy this item again!

The glass globe was beautiful! Truly a unique item.


I have bought these globes for family and friends

These globes are so beautiful and well made. I think they are well received by all!


Beautiful and Great Size

I gave this as a gift to a treasured friend and she absolutely love it. I was impressed with the quality and the size of the globe. Great unique gift!


I would purchase this item again

The recycled glass tree globe was beautiful. I gifted it to a friend in memory of a family member who had passed away. She thought it was beautiful & a thoughtful way to remember her loved one!


More beautiful than the photo

Beautifully blown glass. The quality of the colors and the glass are brilliant. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.


Absolutely perfect.

This hanging globe is stunning! I will let others know where I purchased it. It was for a wedding gift and the newlyweds love it!!!


Excellent

I have all four seasons. They are beyond stunning. I am thrilled by my purchase.

I saw that my question about which one is which has been asked and answered, but the answer seems to no longer apply. There aren't any smaller pictures below, at least not anymore.

Verified reply from Leslie

Hello! If you'd like to view each individual globe, you can select one from the dropdown menu. The image for the one you selected will appear to the left.


Someone gave me one of the recycled glass tree globes. Besides buying the holder, how are different ways that people display these/hang them in their homes?

Verified reply from Allison

Many ways! There is a small loop at the top of the globe to add a silky ribbon or translucent fishing wire. You can then hang the globes from anything sturdy. Perhaps hanging from the lock of a window pane so they may reflect the sunlight. Another place could be from a chandelier or low hanging ceiling lamp. You could hang two or three with different ribbon lengths. Even a hook on your wall!


Measurements diam. And width please Thanks Erni

Verified reply from Valerie

The diameter of this globe is 6".


Hi-are the handmade glass ball ornaments that say they are a set, sold as a set or individually?

Verified reply from Michelle

They are sold individually.


Does the globe come with a product story?

Verified reply from Alexis R

All of our items come with Artist story's that also tell us about the product. "The Story" of the product can be found on the website by clicking on "The Story" section.


How does the recipient of the glass globe know that it represents a specific relationship, for example, sisters?

Verified reply from Alexis R

All of our items come with Artist info as well as item info. If your gifting this you can have a card on the box with a message letting the recipient know it's sister relationship representation. We also offer Personal Message (Complimentary) with this item for a noted message as well.


OWhy can't these be used on a tree?

Verified reply from Martin

These gorgeous globes are solid and sturdy, weighing in at over a pound each, with a diameter of 6". That's a lot for a Christmas tree to handle, so the globes are at risk of falling off if they're used as ornaments. The only kind of tree that this would be suitable for is an outdoor tree with thick and strong branches.


Do you make the gobles in different flower like danvelion???

Verified reply from Paul

Thanks for your question, each globe is unique as they are handmade, so they will feature stems that are sometimes branched, thick, thin and in all sorts of varieties. Because of this I would not describe these to represent a specific plant, but rather as a representation of nature. So that when you give the gift the idea is that you want to grow the sentiment that the particular globe represents.


Does the ornament come with the well written description of what each globe represents? For example, will the remembrance ornament come with a description card stating the meaning?

Verified reply from Ali

Thank you for your questions! Yes, each globe comes with a card from the artist explaining the meaning behind the globe's theme. The remembrance ornament will come with a description highlighting that the Tree of Remembrance encourages us to treasure each of life's moments and cherish the memory of people and places that are near and dear to us - the children, the friends, the parents and the occasions that create the mosaic of our lives.


If not intended as an ornament for Christmas tree, do the globes come with something to hang from window or how do you display?

Verified reply from Marisa

Great question, thanks. You can hang it anywhere you like with string, yarn, fishing line, etc., as long as you're sure it's strong enough. We also offer wrought iron stands, which are a beautiful way to display them: http://www.uncommongoods.com/product/globe-display-stands. (Note that they are currently back-ordered. The one-globe stand is expected to ship on 12/26/14, and the three-globe stand on 1/15/15.) Thanks for shopping with UncommonGoods!
