When you think of Christmas, images of Santa riding on his sleigh and candy canes immediately pop into mind. Think of Christmas colors and you’ll have red and green as your two top choices. Think of some quirky, unique, and definitely colorful ornaments for the holiday season and you’ve got the Pantone Christmas Baubles to fit the bill.
The painted glass Pantone Christmas Baubles are made in Italy and will make a fine addition to the other ornaments already hanging on your tree. Give a bit more personality to your tree by hanging up these Guitar Tree Ornaments or Jelly Belly Baubles.

thanks | we are proud! merry christmas! http://badinicreateam.blogspot.com/2011/09/badini-pantone-xmas-balls-seletti.html
A great concept, just poorly executed. The ornaments are not nearly as nice as they appear in the product photos.
First off, the tops of the ornaments are your run of the mill generic gold tin ornament tops, not the cool pantone colored tops shown in the picture.
Secondly, the coloring of the ornaments are inconsistent. Some spots are almost opaque, showing the white base beneath.
Lastly, the paint lines aren’t straight. They’re wavy at best and almost look drippy in parts, like they were coated too heavy in spots (go figure).
So while I had extremely high hopes for these, they fell short for me.
