3D Crystal Ball Cat with Colour Changing LED

The engraving sits inside the glass, not on the surface. The seated cat is built from straight lines and flat facets, a style close to a wireframe drawing, and small stars are set around the figure.

Because the ball is round, the impression shifts as you walk around it or turn it on its base.

The round wooden base holds the LED that lights the ball from below. Ball and base are two separate parts: the ball rests loosely on the base and can be lifted off. Power runs through a USB connection, and the base has an on and off switch, according to the manufacturer.

With the base the ball measures 9 x 9 x 9.5 cm and weighs 380 g, so it fits on a bedside table, a desk or a shelf. According to the manufacturer it is made of glass, wood and electronics: glass for the engraved ball, wood for the base, electronics for the LED and the switch.

It arrives in an orange gift box with a product photo and the wording 3D Crystal Ball Cat and Colour changing, so nothing needs wrapping.

Place the ball on a level surface so it sits steadily on the base. Since it only rests there, lift it off separately when you move things and carry the two parts apart. A darkened room shows the engraving at its best.
