Apx 8cm high x 9cm wide - so the middle size available. Heavy molded crystal glass - I believe it's 24% lead crystal.

****
Created by Ann Wärff in 1973, the Snowball has become a classic Kosta Boda design. The snowball votive is crafted of thick, clear crystal with layers, creases, and bumps that give it a realistic look. Set a candle inside through the opening on top, and the light moves through the glass in all directions and angles. The effect is magical on an evening dining table, mantelpiece, or bar.
