Top Glassball Ornament Designs of 2025
Capturing History in Glass
🎄 Treasured Scenes: A Look Back at 2025 Glassball Favorites
Every March, Keystone Specialties releases our Treasured Scenes Catalogue, showcasing a curated collection of ornaments that celebrate artistry and tradition. This catalogue includes a wide range of ornament styles—glassball, cast pewter, etched metal, ceramic, jade-stained glass, and more. We also craft pieces in wood, acrylic, stone, and 3D resin, offering something for every taste and occasion.
Today, I’m revisiting some of my favorite glassball ornaments from the 2025 collection. These pieces are timeless, elegant, and full of detail—perfect for collectors and holiday enthusiasts alike.
🖼 Why Glassball Ornaments Stand Out
Glassball ornaments have a unique charm. Their smooth, reflective surface creates a canvas for intricate designs, while the spherical shape adds depth and dimension to every scene. In 2024, we featured historic landmarks, cozy inns, and scenic views—all hand-drawn with precision and care.
🌟 A Few Favorites from 2025
Here are some highlights that captured hearts last season:
~ Mt. Carroll Train Depot – Two old-time train stations beautifully illustrated on a satin white glassball. Client: Mt. Carroll Chamber of Commerce.
~ Historic Inn in Loudon, TN – A two-story log cabin-style inn on a rich matte maroon glassball.
~ Ocracoke Lighthouse – A striking lighthouse and adjacent building on a glossy red ornament. Client: Ocracoke Preservation Society.
~ Bernard Hass House – A historic home built in 1900, featured on a deep navy blue glassball.
~ Model Train Village Close-Up – A zoomed-in view of a charming miniature train village on a vibrant orange glassball.
~ HS Clay House B&B – Another historic home, rendered in detail on a glossy green ornament.
~ San Jacinto River Bridge – A grand bridge spanning the river, showcased on a glossy blue ornament.
~ Avalon Library – A historic building that once served as a school, captured on a sleek silver glassball.
Each ornament tells a story—of heritage, architecture, and the beauty of treasured places.
📖 Looking Ahead to 2026
This time of year, I’m already deep into planning Keystone’s 2026 Treasured Scenes Catalogue. It’s always exciting to imagine what new designs will join the collection—fresh ideas, new color palettes, and innovative techniques that keep the tradition alive.
Stay tuned for a sneak peek at what’s coming next.
