Glass Made in Germany

Argued as one of the first manufacturers of Christmas ornaments, the story of Germany’s Nostalgie Christbaumschmuck American Flag is interesting. The company first would make “Kugels” and later fruit and bells by blowing the glass into moulds before being painted. In the 1890s, F. W. Woolworth popularized the ornament style by commissioning the American Flags for his stores.
