Illuminated Glass Globes
Night orbs are handblown soda/lime glass globes that attach by undergound wire to any 12-volt lighting system. Their creator, LaSorgente Glass Studio, says they are "extremely durable, owing to their spherical shape, thick glass, and a 36 hour annealing process...and can withstand run-ins with lawnmowers, weed whackers, children, animals, heat and deep snow." The website is as beautiful as the product, which looks really gorgeous in the photos. Hand-blown glass does not come cheap, however. A single standard 8" orb with 1-2" stem is $395 plus s/h. Also available: water orbs with underwater cable and a movable version with 5" polished granite base.
