Good Morning everyone, any Kugel ornament collectors here?

In my poking around this past week, I purchased two ornaments that I think are Kugel.
Much research on line and I cannot find anything quite like them.

Both are clear and look similar to crackle glass.
Both are very heavy, one is 3 1/2 inches in diameter, smooth round surface, the other is 6 inches. This 6 inch one is ribbed top to bottom. It appears that the crackling (?)is on the inside.
The caps are not the usual one that I see pictured. They are plain, with a brass loop, held in place with wire going into the balls.

The same caps look like this item pictured on eBay.

Item # 180820982456, if you want to take a peak.
Any ideas?

Not that she is an expert but she told me she has seen things like these two ornaments at places like Pier 1.
So much for a score!

I'll be watching for them at this year's sales.
