What Makes It Uncommon

Star Light, Star Bright

Vincent van Gogh’s masterpiece Starry Night offers a breathtaking glimpse of the mysterious wonder in a starlit sky. Glassblower Stephen Kitras uses his own artistry to bring some of van Gogh's magic to life in your own garden. He draws upon the painting's nocturnal palette, and captures the swirling of the paint in textured glass. Within is a solar-powered light that allows the ball's magic to continue to shine once evening falls. Use the included stake to display this glass masterpiece in your garden, along a pathway, or by your front door. Handmade in Canada.

We visited Stephen Kitras's glassblowing studio in Fergus, Ontario, and made a glass globe of our very own. Visit our blog for the inside scoop.

Sold individually.

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."

No sure if I would purchase again.

This item was a gift from my daughter last Christmas. Unfortunately early September I noticed the globe was not lighting up. Att his point I took the Globe indoors for a while while we traveled and when we got back I had some major surgery - So just getting to this now. Anyway at the end of December I replaced the batteries and it still does not work. I am very disappointed that this item did not last for even a year.

Lights enough of backyard at night to check for her puppies


Very pretty!

I wanted to add a little nighttime sparkle to my flower bed, and this glass orb was perfect! It's small, but quite bright!


So beautiful

Kitras art glass is so beautiful

My friend is going to place this in a large pot with flowers on her patio so she can see it light up each night and enjoy the beauty during the day.


I would not buy again, but I'm sure some would

The globe feels like plastic, not glass. It doesn't seem much like Starry Night. More like white band around blue plastic globe. I'm keeping it, but I will not buy any more of these.

Response from merchant

We are terribly sorry the item was not as expected. We understand you are not interested in a return nut we have emailed you to assist you with a return if you choose to do so.

How many do you get in one order? And will rain ruin them?

Verified reply from Leslie

Hello! Each stake is sold individually, and can be left outside year round.


Does the light last 6-10 hours after EACH full charge, that is, every night after every sunny day? Or is it completely finished after 10 hours total?

Verified reply from Valerie

8 hours of sun each day will result in 6-10 hours of light each night.
