Christopher Radko Rare Ball Drop Star Ornament 11” w/ Tag Crack Noted READ
Rare and highly collectible Christopher Radko blown glass ornament known as the “Ball Drop Star.” This dramatic vertical design features a dimensional indent gold star topper with a suspended, hand-decorated indent ball and twisted icicle drop below. Rich jewel tones of purple, cobalt blue, teal, green, and gold are accented with glittered detailing and molded relief panels typical of Radko’s premium production.
This example retains its original Radko metal charm and hanging hardware. A small crack is present on the side of the gold star (clearly shown in the final photos). The ornament remains intact and still displays beautifully; however, it should be considered a display piece rather than a perfect example.
An impressive statement ornament.
