Ponderosa Pinecone-Blue Blown Glass Ornament by Old World Christmas

Description

Each figural 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.

As graceful decorations that grow naturally on majestic firs and pine trees, cones were among the first molded glass ornaments made. Cones also were believed to be symbols of motherhood and fertility, so they were given to brides to hang on their Christmas trees.
