Spiky Plastic Christmas Baubles With Mercury 1950s
We like to call them hedgehog baubles! Turns out I’ve been spelling spiky wrong all my life! It is not spikey although I maintain that looks right! Anyways, whatever you like to call them, these plastic fantastic Christmas balls from Hong Kong are straight out of the 1950’s, with hints of the Sputnik about them, come with tiny mercury glass balls attached (the ones on the blue ball are plastic, we think). We love the mish mash of tacky plastic and quality glass! Sold as a lot of three, two red, one blue. They measure about 8 cm in diameter.
In good order. The blue bauble has a wire hanging loop, the other two, plastic.
