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.
Birds are symbols of happiness and joy, so they are regarded as a
necessity on the Christmas tree. Glassblowers often kept wild birds
during the winter months since the sound of the gas flame in the
workshop prompted the birds to sing. Then when spring arrived, the birds
returned to freedom.
