Designed and painted by artist Danielle Murray, this spindle is decorated on every surface with a blizzard of snowflakes. Even the bottom of the spindle is decorated! It is our 1998 Holiday Lollipop and was retired on December 25, 1998. On a rich glaze of Ultra Deep Blue, snowflakes cascade over the entire spindle - whorl top, sides, bottom, spindle. Each snowflake sparkles with a fine silver glitter. It brings to mind the special magic of a gentle snowfall at midnight. We hope you'll like this year's Holiday Lollipop!
