Santa with Calling Birds - 40196
This stately Santa holding a tree filled with birds will make a striking appearance on your Christmas tree this holiday season! The legend of Santa Claus is derived from the European figure of St. Nicholas and birds are his special messengers. They fly through towns and cities watching children to see if they have been good, then return to report what they have seen. This beautiful glass ornament is crafted by hand using traditional, old-world methods. Molten glass is carefully mouth-blown into finely carved molds. Then a hot solution of liquid silver is poured inside. The ornaments are hand-painted and glittered in a series of labor-intensive steps to achieve the beautiful finished creations. Produced in limited quantities and imported exclusively by the Merck Family's Old World Christmas, each is a treasure to cherish. Dimensions - 5.25"(approx.)
