Measures approx 3" tall x 1 1/2" wide One of the most unique & interesting lines I've come across in my search for hand blown German ornaments! When I first saw these, I thought the glassblower was sending me pictures of things his grandfather made, just to confirm that this was the sort of thing I was looking for... in a tiny shop in what used to be East Germany, two 3rd generation master craftsmen create these "vintage" pieces, using their grandfather's molds, tools, & techniques. As a matter of fact, if their grandfather somehow came back to life, he could walk into their shop & pretty much pick up where he left off, that's how little things have changed! Rather than just offer you "more of the same", they decided to create a line of "vintage look" ornaments, using their extensive collection of antique molds. They carefully age each piece, soaking classic style caps & clips in a solution to lightly rust them, then they dull down the silvered finish & mute the lacquers used in painting...the result is an ornament that blends in perfectly when you display your originals! This small shop has a large collection of rare & unique molds, allowing the collector to fill in the blanks spots due to the high costs of the originals, or the novice can start their collection with these, & move up to the originals as money permits... As with any hand crafted product, there may be slight variations in size & shading or actual "scrap" used Thanks for looking, & be sure to check out my other listings for more neat-o stuff!
