    Who, besides me, myself and I, LOVES these indented ornaments?

    They remind me of my Grandmother's Christmas Tree! I don't even know where one would find them nowadays (except maybe online). I wish there were more Vintage Ornaments available at our every-day stores around here.

    I remember them as a young child .... not particularly fond of them but they seem to be making a come back.

    Have seen them in the stores and online ....called 'witch eye' ornaments these days.

    the glass ones I have gotten at Michael's the past few years or so are indented. Indented ones are best if you can manage to get a light on the tree to somehow be right in front of the indented part while still being able to have the ornament hanging straight.

    Well, a glass ornament has no power to fend off anything. It can reflect the light, however.
