A smaller selection but still high on quality, Grand Canyon's ceramic fire ball sets are available in sizes ranging from two to six inches with a variety of finishes to suit any room design. One factor that sets their fire ball offerings apart is that each ball has been cast based on an authentic Civil War cannon ball, providing a touch of history that's sure to elevate your home and provide a great conversation starter.
