Crafted using the complex “double-blown” (Doppelglas) technique—which gives it a unique texture and layered color—it is a period piece highly sought after by collectors. Its elegant shape and vibrant decoration make it a striking ornament. The spherical central body is hand-decorated with floral or leaf motifs in brilliant warm hues (orange, yellow, and green), which contrast with the silver finish of the inner layer. The “turban”-shaped top in a rich, glossy magenta and the teardrop tip at the bottom add a touch of exoticism and refinement, typical of early 20th-century ornamental design. This vintage German ornament is ideal for those seeking a historic and decorative element for the holidays. Dimensions: 8 cm (Diameter) x 11 cm (Height) COLOR: multicolored MATERIAL: glass See less
