I have a toddler and virtually no toddler-proof ornaments, so I ordered these to look like oranges in my fireplace display. They look like glass from far away, but up close the seam is pretty visible. they're a little bigger than my standard glass ornaments on our regular tree, which was kind of a surprise, but it didn't matter, as they're the only balls on the fireplace. I don't need any more, but I'd order them again if I had another shatterproof need.
