Victorian Witches Ball Potichomania Hand Blown Painted interior Antique Large
"Witch balls were first hung in the windows of seventeenth century homes and were thought to keep evil spirits and witches at bay. They were created from blown glass and were believed to have protective qualities. It was commonly believed that witches were unable to look at their own reflection, and therefore hanging a glass witch ball would prevent them from entering a home."
The Torquay museum holds a similarly decorated Witches Ball

"Spheres of Influence: The Magical History of the Witch Ball"
