Types of Garden Gazing Balls
The original Victorian Gazing Balls were 4-inch hanging balls of either gold or blue glass and were used to repel witches. These miniature gazing globes are still in style, designed to hang from a small stand to swing in the air along a garden path or beside a pond. Others sit on diminutive six-inch pedestals. The standard size of modern globes is ten to twelve inches, but globes as small as five inches and as large as twenty inches can also be found. Naturally, they vary widely in color and pattern as well. Surfaces may be mirror-smooth or patterned with a swirling or spotted design. Choice of color depends on intended use. While all gazing balls reflect the garden around them, silver globes do this the most clearly. Blue and green globes seem to capture some of the light; other colors like red or gold work well near seating or floating above similarly-colored plants. Color can either echo nearby plantings -- a perfect green sphere near boxwood or a topiary or a silver globe floating over a mound of lavender -- or gently contrast.
