{"product_id":"ping-pong-ornament","title":"Ping Pong Ornament","description":"\u003cp\u003eGood ping pong gifts are rarer than they ought to be, which is part of why this paddle earns its branch — a red rubber face on one side, pips on the reverse, and a small white ball caught mid-bounce just off the blade. The two faces are the detail that matters most: one smooth, one dimpled, painted as distinctly as the real rubber reads under a curious fingertip. Hand-blown glass suspends the ball a fixed distance from the paddle, a small trick that holds the whole gesture together. Reginald, a nephew whose basement setup has quietly become the entire reason cousins keep visiting, would set this exactly where he could point at it mid-argument. The Royal Ontario Museum holds rec-room objects because the games a household actually played, night after night, record ordinary life far better than the formal occasions do, and a paddle worn smooth on one edge tells that story cleanly. Worn honestly, it keeps that basement history intact for years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chive Ceramics Studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47665961140361,"sku":"ORN358","price":22.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0375\/5687\/9497\/files\/small_ornament_pingpong_-PS_1_transp_901e79fc-67b4-4cc6-b51d-7228dc11ead0.webp?v=1784670951","url":"https:\/\/chive.com\/products\/ping-pong-ornament","provider":"Chive Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
