Thin "hair-like" strands of melted glass are created inside the orb using tweezers, heat and the tube. As the glassblower continues to blow air into the glass, the strands spread out in a pattern that looks like drips of water.

To make the concentric orbs, the glassblower delicately places the drizzled orb inside a second hand-blown oval.
"The artisan blows this second tube into a large oblong shape, then uses a fire torch to open the bottom," said the brand. "They then take the existing orb and pla...
