Noma Accents Satin Gold Glass Ball Ornaments, Set of 6
Noma (Accents Line) · Vintage Items > Holiday Decor
Era / Decade
Early 1990s based on the typography of the 'Accents' logo, the cardboard window-box design, and the 'Made in Canada' maple leaf logo which was common for Noma products during this period.
Material
Thin-walled glass with a satin gold finish; metal crown caps and wire loops. These are traditional breakable glass ornaments rather than plastic shatterproof versions.
Condition
Good. The ornaments appear intact without cracks, but the visible bottom-left and bottom-right ornaments show signs of finish oxidation or 'spots' common with age. The original box is present but shows shelf wear and some crushing/creasing around the display windows.
Demand Level
Moderate. Demand spikes significantly between October and December. There is a strong niche for collectors of vintage Canadian-made holiday items.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$12.00 - $22.00. The value lies in the 'Vintage Christmas' niche rather than the utility, as glass ornaments from this era are sought for nostalgic decor setups.
Estimated Retail Value
$10.00 - $12.00 (Current equivalent for a set of 6 glass ornaments at a mid-tier retailer).
Comparable Sales
Similar sets of 6-8 vintage glass balls from brands like Noma or Shiny Brite typically sell for $15-$25 plus shipping on eBay during the holiday season. 'New Old Stock' (unused) sets command the higher end of that range.
Description
Set of 6 vintage Noma Accents glass ball ornaments in a sophisticated satin gold finish. Made in Canada. These ornaments feature a matte, non-reflective surface that provides a warm glow on a Christmas tree. Total of 6 bulbs included in the original vintage green and white window display box. Each ornament is approximately 2.5 to 3 inches in diameter.
Key Features
Vintage 'Made in Canada' manufacturing; original packaging; desirable satin/matte finish which is currently trending in 'Dark Academic' or 'Traditional' holiday aesthetics; classic gold colorway that matches most decor.
Authenticity Indicators
Original Noma branding and trade-marked 'Accents' logo on packaging; 'Made in Canada' maple leaf stamp on the bottom left of the box. High confidence in authenticity.
Flaws to Note
Minor spotting and finish loss on the gold coating due to age (visible on bottom spheres). The box has corner wear and some warping. Plastic wrap over the windows is crinkled/loose.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or Etsy are best for vintage holiday collectors. Facebook Marketplace is a good domestic option for local sales to avoid the risk of shipping fragile glass.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Vintage Christmas,' 'MCM Style,' 'Satin Gold,' and 'Made in Canada.' If shipping, double-box these with plenty of bubble wrap as the original thin cardboard provides zero protection. Take a photo of the ornaments outside of the box to show the full condition of the finish.
