Each hand-blown glassybaby glass votive is a beautiful work of art. They are each as unique as the individual who chooses one or is gifted one. We love that $3 from every glassybaby purchase gives to the glassybaby foundation to provide hope and healing. Each glassybaby arrives in a beautiful new hinged box with a magnetic closure, perfect for gifting. A team of up to six artisans work in unison to craft each one. glassybaby is hand-blown glass and made in the USA. We think the over the river glassbaby is just stunning and would make the perfect gift for any host or hostess this holiday season.
