Description

Glass Made in Germany
Seasons: Christmas, Winter

The glass ball as a symbol of the fruit from the Garden of Eden is available in many varieties. This ball was designed around the turn of the century and carries a plurality of longitudinally arranged rows of studs whose interstices are set in antique red. The whole ball is patinated and closed by a real iron cap. The place of origin of the glass ornaments is the area around Lauscha in Thuringia. In the beginning it was just a substitute for real fruit which a poor glass-blower could not afford. With time the diversity of glass ornaments for Christmas trees grew. Their popularity grew and they became a real bestseller.

About Marolin Manufaktur

Founded in 1900, Richard Mahr of Steinach, Germany created the finely detailed papier-mâché figurines that have since become internationally known and collected. Marolin figurines are hand composed using a combination of kaolin, chalk, paper fibers, organic paste, and clay before being hand poured and painted. These figurines, not unlike Vaillancourt’s Chalkware, are known for their artistic quality and detail.
