Vintage Inge Glas Old World Christmas Ornament Germany Santa Mercury Glass

Made for Old World Christmas back in the days when all their ornaments were made in Germany and not China! Making these ornaments is a complicated process. First is made a technical drawing by an artist and then a sculpture is made from which a mold is created. The glass blower then receives the mold and the glass is blown into the mold. From there it goes to be painted and silvered which is what gives its mercury glass sheen. After being capped with their iconic star shaped hanger the ornament is then ready to be boxed and sold. Own a part of history when real artisans had pride in their work! Highly collectible! Red, white and gold. Perfect condition. See last picture for size. B-5
