Kurt Adler Egg Ornament Set Review: Fancy Enough?
Nine glass eggs in bright colors, trimmed with gold glitter and small gems. A boxed set that looks dressier than its price.
Yes, for a host who decorates the table as much as the tree. The eggs have gold glitter and gem trim that looks costly [1]. Skip it for a home with curious pets near the tree.

Pros and cons
- Glass, so fragile
- Mixed colors may clash with a theme
- Higher price per piece than basic balls [1]
Eggs instead of balls
A tree full of round balls can look flat. Egg shapes catch the eye because they break the pattern [1].
Each egg is 45mm, about the size of a hen's egg, with a bright base color and gold glitter and gem trim [1].
A bowl, a garland or the tree
Hung on the tree, they sparkle like small jewelry. Set in a clear glass bowl on the dining table, they make a quick centerpiece.
The set comes boxed, which makes it easy to give as a hostess gift [1].
For a mantel, run them along a garland with a few battery lights.
Glass and a theme
They are glass. A cat or a toddler near the tree can break one in a second.
The colors are mixed and bright [1]. On a strict silver and white tree they may clash, so they work best on a colorful, traditional tree.
A hostess gift that lasts
Wine is gone by New Year. A set of glass eggs comes back every December, and the host remembers who brought them.
From the same guide, the Old World Christmas Santa in Sleigh Glass Ornament is a single showpiece for the same host, and the Kurt Adler Clear Glass Icicle Ornament Set adds sparkle around the eggs.
FAQ
How big are the Kurt Adler glass egg ornaments?
Each egg measures 45mm, according to the listing [1]. That is about the size of a hen's egg, large enough to show on a tree and small enough to fill a bowl on the table [1]
