Kitras art glass spirit ball from Blue House at Kenilworth.  A beautiful work of art!

According to legend, "spirit balls" or "witch balls" would trap evil spirits inside when they became mesmerized by the beauty of the reflections in the glass surface; the ball would absorb the negative energy, thus protecting the home. Kitras Art Glass, founded in 1988 by artisan Stephen Kitras, continues the tradition of the spirit ball with these beautiful hand-crafted spheres.
