They're perfectly normal glass baubles. I dislike the current trend to plastic (they scratch and get dull and have seams and so on), and these are traditional glass ornaments. If you want glass baubles and like the color, then you get what you see. The same ornaments are available from multiple sellers under different listings, so you can shop around if you don't see the color you want (which is why I've left the same review in several places) -- just look for the green box.
