While the caps aren't marked, the necks are long and thin, which is a sign of a hand-blown glass bauble. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hot pink and silver baubles are decorated with \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\"Fil de fer\" crinkle wire wrapping, otherwise known as boullion wire, with spun cotton mushrooms, feathers and \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003espun tinsel garland and are complete. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDecorations like these with extra ornamentation are now very rare to find and are much sought after by collectors. They would have been created as a cottage industry, most likely in Lauscha, Germany. They would have been much more expensive than standard shaped mercury glass and would have been treasured once. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese were sourced from Modica, Sicily. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003eOne complete and very good, one complete, but with breakage under the cap.
