Hand-blown glass Christmas ornaments are made with a lot of passion and creativity. The maker’s ideas take the form of a drawing, following which a clay mould is made modelled on the drawing.

The final touches are given with painting to make the ornament look absolutely special.

The inspiration of glass Christmas tree ornaments can be traced back to the Christmas celebrations of the royal family of Great Britain in 1846. It was in this year that Queen Victoria’s Christmas tree decorated with glass ornaments from Germany, was printed in a London newspaper.

The example caught the attention of millions of people and thus, began the export of glass ornaments from Europe to the world. The first to expand the business across the Atlantic was F.W Woolworth of the United States, followed by other competitors in Japan and Czechoslovakia, who began manufacturing glass Christmas tree ornaments.
The first forms of glass ornaments were German hand cast lead and hand-blown glass decorations like glass toys in the form of children, saints, animals and so on. Since then, several creative add-ons have made glass ornaments a true favourite of enthusiasts the world over.

Today, glass ornaments depict events of life like birthdays, anniversaries, engagements. Christmas-themed ornaments include a variety of depictions like Santa’s workshops, snowman, different coloured bulbs, Santa’s stocking, reindeer’s stocking, cute animals, and famous characters and even personalized glass Christmas ornaments.
