Old World Christmas Miniature Gurken Ornament

Long ago when parents decorated the Christmas tree they hung the pickle ornament last, hiding it in the green boughs. When the children were allowed to view the tree, they would begin searching for the pickle ornament because they knew they would receive an extra gift for being the most observant. Dimensions: 1.5 X 0.75 X 0.75 (HxLxW) Crafted with care and precision out of fine glass Blown glass made by skilled glassblowers one at a time Hand-painted and hand-glittered Ships safely in a keepsake box Each figurative glass ornament produced by Old World Christmas is hand crafted in age-old tradition using the same techniques that originated in the 1800’s. Molten glass is mouth-blown into finely carved molds made exclusively for Old World Christmas, before a hot solution of liquid silver is poured inside. The ornaments are then hand-painted and glittered in a series of labor-intensive steps to achieve the beautiful creations.
