Early 1890s, or earlierPastel Toned Glass Flower on Clip

German Glass Christmas Ornament.

Not silvered inside, which gives it such an elegant appearance once on the tree.

Pale blue to cream to a brighter pin to cream to pink at the bottom.

The pastel coloration is just outstanding.

On a clip, so it rests above the bough.

Really early and so beautiful.

Sepals molded on bottom, with petals.. looks like an open Rose to me.

4.00\" and in very good condition.

Blown in Germany before World War I.

This was a cottage industry, a means for the Germans to make money during the winter when they could not work in the fields. The sons and fathers blew the ornaments. The girls and mom would silver the ornaments inside, and then individually paint the ornaments, and grandma would take to the train station in the spring when the others were back in the fields. Then they went to the sea coast, put on ships, and arrived in New York to be delivered across the country, and we used them to decorate our trees. The origin is Lauscha, Germany.

We are an older couple which are down-sizing, and put up one tree in our den and one in our dining room. These ornaments did not fit on the trees this past Christmas, and it seems senseless to keep them in boxes in the back closet. So hopefully new caretakers can be found for these German ornaments being listed tonight.

There is nothing wrong with these Christmas ornaments.These being listed today are in very good shape. They are vintage, not reproductions. I guarantee that. I start all my sales at .99 cents as it is an sale and I just never cared when I went to live sale and the saleeer started very high, and then spent time backing down to get a offer.

I am more than happy to combine postage to save money.
