This boy is dressed in blue pants with a green shirt. His jacket is brown and he is wearing a textured matching cap and red tie around his neck. He stands with his hands in his pocket and has a little smile and rosy red cheeks. This ornament is nicely finished on all sides, making it perfect to hang anywhere on your Christmas tree.
This ornament exemplifies Marolin’s niche of producing mouth-blown ornaments using old molds, then painting and finishing the items in such a way to create a vintage or ‘antique’ appearance. You will notice brush marks, minor color inconsistencies, rubs and an occasional small scratch, or even what appears to be missing paint. These are all part of the artistic charm that goes into the creation of Marolin ornaments.
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. With this nostalgic glass ornament your Christmas tree will become a special eye-catcher! In addition, the ornament is an ideal gift or to collect.
