A masterful example of traditional European glass artistry, this 4-inch sculptural tree was hand-blown using authentic German lampwork techniques (flameworking) likely originating from the renowned glass-making region of Lauscha. The clear conical body is infused with internal gold-leaf "aventurine" speckling, creating a brilliant, warm inner glow when it catches the light. A contrasting honey-amber glass spiral elegantly wraps the tree, featuring delicate hand-applied cobalt blue glass "ornament" beads. The base is finished with a striking hand-drawn "sunburst" branch detail, and the piece is crowned with a sharp cobalt blue finial topper. This sturdy tabletop figurine is a sophisticated alternative to traditional holiday decor, perfect for a mantel, tiered tray, or festive centerpiece.

Dimensions:
Height: 4"
Diameter: 2.25" (at base)

Condition:
Excellent vintage condition. The glass is vibrant and clear with no chips, cracks, or repairs. All delicate lampwork "branches" and ornament beads are intact. Commensurate with its handmade origin, minor variations in the glass and bead placement are part of its unique artisanal character.

A whimsical and sophisticated survivor of mid-century holiday decor, this artisan-crafted tree brings a pop of rich color and hand-worked texture to any curated collection. See less
