    There is a Kitras Art Glass but I don't know how they sign their pieces - and it is nice looking.

    nice piece but you probably wouldn't be able to sell it for much more than $14.00. The witch balls they make used to sell for a bit of money, not sure if they still do:)

    I looked up witch balls, assuming they weren't "Magical" crystal balls.
    Quite interesting ! The item was gone today, BTW, and there were Christmas items in the store ! :arghh: Too soon ! But I bought a cute tin for baked goodies.:happy:

    I'm way into paperweights and have over 150 lol. Anyway, I found a Steve Kitras in Canada. This is not a spirit ball, I believe those are the hanging ornaments. This is a paperweight and someone has a similar one on sale on Ebay for a starting bid of $49.95.
