This is the heaviest Victorian crystal ball we have, and the metal is aged wonderfully. Witchy and elegant. What a beautiful combination. No scratches on the ball itself, and wear on the base is aesthetic and consistent with age. Stand: 8″ x 6″ x 3.25. One side of the base is. 25 lower on one side. Cast Iron and Reconstituted Quartz Crystal. Over 100 years old.
