	Candels

	The Candels : The candles are made with parafin-hydrorefinde, oil > 0,5% Wick: Heinz Jansen-Germany Smelttemp: 56°C Colors : Kaiser-Germany Perfums : Drom-Germany Everything is handmade.

Christmas Balls

The Christmas Balls : Manufactured in Czech Republic, the balls are made with bohemia cristal,
Blown by mouth from SIHOST or SIMAX glass pipes and decorated by hand.
The inside of the balls is silvered.
The external side of the balls is dipped manually in different colors form the german company Kaiser.
The colors used by Kaiser are certified to respect following international norms:

- European Norm EN 71 Part 3
- American Norm ASTM F 963-95.

All the colors and decorations are made on a metalic base :

golden pattern : liquid bronze
golden powder : milled bronze
silver powder : milled aluminium

All the patterns are applied by hand according to the desired design.
All the clips are adapted to the diameter of the balls and their colors.

The diameter of the balls are : 5 cm, 6 cm, 7 cm, 8 cm, 10 cm and 15 cm.

The packing : Each sort of balls has his own packaging made of a plastic protection.
It's inserted into a carton box and closed with a top who has a transparent window.
For balls with a diameter over 7 cm, the packaging can aslo be individual.
There is also the possibility to pack the balls into an industrial carton.

Technical caracteristics of the SIHOST glass (soda-magnesium-aluminium-slilica glass).

The SIHOST glass is manufactured and delivered in a pipe form (See picture below).
This material is ideal to be worked with glass blowtorchs.
The SIHOST glasses are used in pharmaceuticals, in electrotechnic and also for the production of our Christmas balls.

Technical caracteristics of the SIMAX glass (Borosilicate glass 3.3).

The SIMAX glass is manufactured and delivered in a pipe form.
This material is ideal to be worked with glass blowtorchs.
The SIMAX glasses are used in a wide range of technical and laboratory products, industrial apparatus,
heat-resistant household glassware and also for the production of our Giant Christmas balls.

The high resistance of products made from SIMAX glass to sudden changes of temperature - their heat resistance - is due to a low coefficient of linear thermal expansion, a relatively low modulus of tensile elasticity E and relatively high thermal conductivity.

When the glass product is heated or cooled, unwanted internal stress arises. Breaking on rapid cooling of the product occurs when the unwanted internal stress exceeds the allowable limit. Values of resistance to thermal shock (D °C) for Simax glass products are shown in the following table against the thickness of the wall.

	Easter Eggs

	The Eggs : The eggs are veritable Eggs (Hen or Turkey) without content. To empty the content of the egg, two little holes are made on each end of the egg. It's then blown out from one end out of the other end. The content is used by the food industry to make cakes and pastries. Each egg is then desinfected in the inside and on the outside. All the decorations are hand made. All parts of the decorations are natural. The decors are made in following different techniques : Zwiebelmuster Batik Embroidery Imprint Straw Wax

Flowers

The flowers : The flowers are made by hand by artists with a light bohemia cristal.
All the colors are available and also all types of flowers are available.
The flowers and the leaves are assembled with metal wires (100% brass and steel wires - Cantal Alkrothal).
This concept authorize you to personalize the positions of the flower(s) and the leaves.

The vases : The vases are blown by mouth. The shape of the vase is different for each type of flower.

Chemical formula of the flowers and the vases	Componant	Quantity
	SiO₂	69 %
	Na O	15 %
	CaO	7 %
	K O	6 %
	Others	3 %

The packing : The flowers are packed into silk paper.
They are then packed either :
- In an plastic box huging the form of the flower and the vase. The lid is transparent.
- In a carton box with a transparent window.



	Oil Lamps and Paperweights

	Oil Lamps and Paperweights: The oil lamps and the paperweights are made with bohemia cristal 24pb, by hand from artists. All colors are possible and also every decorative pattern is conceivable. It's also possible to sandblast with diamond powder images ont the surface of the lamps and the paperweights (p.ex: Map of the world). An oil reservoir is blown on the top of the oil lamps. It's capacity allows to let burn the lamp about 5 - 6 hours. The coton wick is introduced in a heat protection made with glass. The wick will not burn out as long there is oil in the reservoir. The weight of a spherical oil lamp is about 480 g. The different shapes : Spherical Ovoid Flat The packing : The oil lamps and the paperweights are packed into silk paper. They are then packed into an appropriate carton. The dimensions of the carton for spherical oil lamps and paperweights is : 10 cm x 8,5 cm x 9,5 cm (LxHxP)



	Trees

	Big and Small Trees: We have two different size of trees. The big ones have 30 cristal stones and the small ones have 18 cristal stones. Both trees have a marble foot in various colors. The size of the marble feet depends of the size of the trees. The trunk and the branches are made with bronze wires. Each branch can be moved up and down, left and right. In this way you can personalize the look of your tree. The available colors of the cristal stones are : Amber Dark Blue Light Blue Dark Green Light Green Iridescent Green Red Rose White Iridescent White The Iridescent Green and White colors are obtained with a chemical treatment of one side of the surface of the stones.
