Questions & Answers

This ball looks like it's made of glass, isn't it?

Glass is the material used for the ball.

Do you know how much weight it is? Does it actually have the weight needed to be used as an ornament or does it fall off the tree when it is used as an ornament?

There is no limping of the branch with this ornament as it is not too heavy to hang on a branch.

Dimensions how large is this object?

The height and width of this object are about 6" and 3". A very well made and attractive product

What is the size of the dragon ornament?

I've never seen anything like this before! A tabletop tree of 6 inches is on my desk. To use it, I had to put it at the A ball of that size measures about six or seven inches across. Seven inches is how tall the dragon is. This is an issue for the small tree I have. This is light, but it's too heavy. I hope I really like the way that dragon looks!

It's cute, but it's defective
3/5

The dragon looks good on the tree, and it's pretty to look at. There was also a large glob of glue oozing out when looking closely between the dragon's perch and the glass ball. If you look closely, the paint job is a bit uneven (See photo). In spite of contacting the seller I bought it from, they were of no help. Despite trying Amazon Returns, they would not let me In order to get a new one, I would have needed to return the defective one Due to Amazon's sudden increase in price, I ended up buying the same item twice as much as I had paid originally. The idea of doing that doesn't appeal to me. It only took a little acetone to remove the worst of the glue Some of the paint on the base as well. After being unable to remove the glue and repairing the damaged part of the base, we had to paint over the damaged areas. I found it disappointing for the price, even though it looks alright now. Do not pay $20 - it's a waste of money For this ornament, you need to pay $25. I wouldn't consider it worth all that much if it had just sloppy paint job. It's probably not more than $10.

The picture is pretty, but the quality is not the best
3/5

This product did not live up to my expectations. There are many plastic ornaments on the market like these. The other two I bought from a different manufacturer were heavy and extremely detailed, the present ones weren't. In spite of this, they are not in bad shape. A nice touch is the rainbow-colored tinge to the glass ball, which offers a nice contrast to the dragons.

My collection has been enriched with the addition of a new dragon
5/5

The dragon is beautiful, looks detailed, arrived without any damage, and the packaging was nice, even the bubble wrap worked. This is a very nice example of color detail on the glass part - I thought that. This dragon is a great value, not just for the upcoming Christmas season but also as a daily collectible.

Ornament with a dragon in beautiful condition
5/5

I absolutely adore this The ornament is perfect for my Christmas tree, and I can't wait to put it up. Having a tree decorated with dragons is perfect for me since I love dragons. In a simple way, it resembles a bubble of soap hanging in the air, as the ball it sits on is clear and iridescent. What a cool idea! It's also really cool that the eyes are red.

I am floored! Although I do not like dragons, I really like this thing
5/5

Stunning! I think this is going to be a big hit. He is a fan of dragons and a man! I purchased this for him a little over a year ago. OH MY GOD, this thing was a This is the first ornament that I have seen him this excited about since I was a kid. Stunning. I was blown away by the beauty of it. I'm planning on ordering another one of these next year in a different style. Compared to my expectations, this was so much more than I could have imagined. Neither you nor your loved ones will.

It's not expensive for an artist of such a high level
3/5

Ornament is inexpensive. The kind of quality you'd find at a dollar store. I do not see the artist in the same way I expected.

The quality of what you get depends on the price you pay
3/5

Due to the dragon not being glued all the way to the crystal ball, we had to return it to the seller. It was packaged very well by the seller, and we did receive a refund for the defective ornament. Although both the item itself and the seller were disappointing, both were satisfactory.
