$50 USDBox German Indent Glass Christmas Ornaments With Tree Topper
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass
Eight indented blown glass feather tree size Christmas ornaments and a matching feather tree topper in their original box, probably made in the late 1930s. The deeply indented spire tree topper is 6-3/4" high, tinted red and green over mercury silver. The 1-1/2" diameter deeply recessed indent ornaments are in pairs, four styles for a total of eight. Two are very dark solid green rimmed in white, almost black, two more are the same style but dark red in color. Two others are decorated with green ...
$36 USDTri Colored West Germany Glass Pine Cone Christmas Ornaments
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass
These three very pretty pinecone glass Christmas ornaments were made in West Germany. Between 3-1/4" and 3-1/2" long, they are blue at the tops, yellow-gold at the centers, and bright pink at the bottoms, an unusual decoration. All three are lightly coated in white mica glitter to simulate frost or snow. The metal caps are marked West Germany. The ornaments have some inner silvering loss apparent only when held up to the light. Light mica wear, not bad, no chips or breaks.
$56 USDFather Christmas on Oak Leaf 1930s German Glass Ornament
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass
This 3" silvered German glass oak leaf ornament has a very well defined Father Christmas style Santa Claus figure embossed in high relief on the front. The ornament has some pink tinting at one side and the bottom - it may have been made that way, though it's more likely that the rest of the color has faded or worn away over the years. The back has some pale green and yellow tinting at the upper leaves. The silvering is still very reflective with good interior coverage except near the pike where ...
$42 USDFancy Rib Twist German Bird Christmas Ornament Spun Glass Tail Original Label
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass
This unusual and attractive vintage blown glass bird ornament was stored away virtually unused and still has its paper Germany label attached. It's in such great condition that it could pass for a modern German ornament but it was made before World War II in the late 1930s. The bird is 6-3/4" long from beak to the end of its spun glass tail. The glass body has recessed ribs and twists tinted yellow, pink, and blue at either end of the center green band with white painted comma-stroke leaves. The ...
$50 USDGerman Wired and Tinsel Large Indent Glass Christmas Ornament
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass
This large wired glass German Christmas ornament is from the 1930s. The center is a dark pink glass double pike, double thumbprint indent teardrop which may once have been red, nearly 4-1/2 inches long by itself. It's wrapped in thin gold crinkled wire, a band of gold feather tinsel garland at the center, and curled and twisted gold bullion wire around the outside. At the bottom is a metal tinsel tassel, at the top a loop of feather tinsel garland. The ornament measures 9 inches total including ...
$52 USDVictorian Large Wire Wrapped Horn Glass Christmas Ornament
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass
This antique German free blown glass horn ornament is from the Victorian era. It's shaped more like an old fashioned ear trumpet for the hard of hearing rather than a musical instrument type of horn, about 7" long with a bent long stem and upturned bowl. The ornament is wrapped in strands of thin curly gold wire which has suffered a few breaks and shifted over the last hundred-some years. Originally painted flat, unsilvered white with perhaps a red or pink rim, much of the paint is gone now. The ...
$60 USDAntique German Gold Kugel Christmas Ornament
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass
This authentic gold kugel glass Christmas ornament was made in Germany in the late 1800s to early 1900s. It has an 8-lobed brass cap and measures not quite 2-1/4" diameter, 6-7/8" in circumference. Kugels are colored within the glass, not painted or finished on the outside, and the mercury silvering is on the inside. There is some spottiness from age as shown in the photos, though in normal lighting the spots are not as glaringly brown as they appeared in the photo cube with flash. The mirroring ...
$60 USDAntique German Small Red Kugel Christmas Ornament
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass
This authentic red kugel glass Christmas ornament was made in Germany in the late 1800s to early 1900s. It has a 5-leaf brass cap and measures 1-3/4" diameter, 5-3/8" in circumference. Kugels are colored within the glass, not painted or finished on the outside, and the mercury silvering is on the inside. The original mercury silvering on the inside has naturally degraded over the years, causing clouding and spottiness as shown. I tried to show all sides in the pictures. There are some normal ...
$39 USD2 Premier Unsilvered WWII Glass Grape Cluster Christmas War Ornaments
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass:War Era Wwii Unsilvered
These 1940s glass Christmas ornaments by Premier Glass Works are relatively rare. They're in the shape of grape clusters, which alone would make them scarce from an American manufacturer, but they are also unsilvered war ornaments - made during World War II when rationing and shortages of silver nitrate forced ornament manufacturers to use painted, sprayed or flashed transparent colors. The grapes are 2-1/2 inches tall. One is transparent red, the other blue. The finish is excellent on both with ...
$35 USDWine Cask Barrel With Grapes Glass Christmas Ornament
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass
This unusual silvered glass Christmas ornament is in the shape of a wine cask or barrel, about 2-1/4" wide by 2-1/2" high. Decorated in red and silver with white mica staves, a molded cluster of blue grapes with green leaves is in the center. An ornament similar to this is shown attached to a clip in the Lightner Christmas Rarities book - this one was made in Germany before 1940. Very slight color and mica wear but overall very good condition for its age.
$32 USDPurple and Silver Corn Flower Glass Christmas Ornaments
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass
These 1950s West German glass Christmas ornaments are some type of bumpy silver flower with purple petals or leaves. Decorated differently, they could almost be small ears of corn. There are three, painted identically. They are 2-1/4" high by 2" wide and have a slightly flat shape - viewed from the side they look like oval pods. The metal caps are marked West Germany. Slight paint wear to the purple petals, otherwise excellent, shiny condition with no damage.
$35 USDPair 1920s Tiny Figural House Feather Tree Glass Christmas Ornaments
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass
These unusual tiny mercury silvered feather tree figural glass Christmas ornaments were made in Japan in the 1920s. Just 1-1/2 inches high by 1-1/4 inches high, they're brick or stone houses painted gold with red doors, green chimneys, and purple shingled roofs. The ornaments have some paint wear as shown, and there's some inner mercury loss at the back of one. This ornament still has its original metal cap, the other lost its cap some years ago and it was replaced with a slightly rusty steel ...
$42 USD3 Shiny Brite 1930s Chandelier Glass Christmas Ornaments
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass
Set of three early Shiny Brite figural glass Christmas ornaments in a scarce beaded drop shape that I'm going to call chandelier, until I think of something better or learn the correct name. I've seen them called UFOs, space capsules, and satellites but those terms refer to a more recent time period. Among the first Shiny Brite specialty shapes produced in the 1930s, this style was not produced very long and was never brought back after the war ended in 1945. The ornaments are just under 2-3/4" ...
$29 USDBlown Glass Pipe Christmas Ornament Hand Painted Flowers
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass
This mouth blown German pipe Christmas ornament is a little more than 4 inches long. It's a "blowie" - when you blow into the stem, the thin metal disc embedded in the bowl causes a flute-like sound. The pipe is green with a silver stem and has hand painted flowers and leaves on one side. There's some normal silvering loss - the ornament has a near transparent look when held up to the light. Typical darkening of the glass from mercury deterioration near the pike and some paint wear as shown, no ...
$59 USD4 Shiny Brite Unsilvered Stenciled Glass Christmas War Ornaments
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass:War Era Wwii Unsilvered
A scarce set of four 1940s Shiny Brite unsilvered Christmas ornaments made during World War II when silvering agents were unavailable for all but military use. Stenciled or screen printed war ornaments are not unheard of but they are unusual, and I've never seen this particular design before. The 2-1/4" ornaments are pinkish-red at the tops, clear at the bottoms with thin horizontal faded blue stripes in the centers. White snowflakes, bells, and ornaments decorate the centers all the way around, ...
$62 USDRed With Mica Stripes Unsilvered War Glass Barrel Christmas Ornaments
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass:War Era Wwii Unsilvered
These four 1940s unsilvered war ornaments are especially nice and very scarce. They are 2-1/4" high, ringed barrel or accordion shape, painted a deep transparent cherry red. The rings of the barrels are thickly coated in mica glitter stripes - one band of white at the center, two bands of blue mica above and below. This shape ornament is usually found with Shiny Brite metal caps, but all of the ornaments have caps marked Made In U.S.A. The ornaments were made at the Corning Glass factory and ...
$34 USDSanta in Green Suit With Basket Clip On Glass Christmas Ornament
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass
This very nice figural clip-on glass Santa Claus Christmas ornament is about 4" high to the bottom of the metal clip. It was made in West Germany by Inge-Glas in the mid to late 1980s. The kindly faced, rosy cheeked Santa is wearing a green coat and cap with white mica fur trim and carries a yellow basket over one arm. In excellent condition.
$26 USDLarge Glass Santa Claus, Christmas Tree, and Pine Cone Christmas Ornaments
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass
These three larger silvered glass figural Christmas ornaments are from the1980s. The mica glitter coated Santa Claus holding a pine tree is 6" high, the tiered glittered silver and green tree ornament is just over 4-1/2" high, and the silver pine cone with white glitter snow is 5-1/4" long. The ornaments are all in excellent condition with no damage and little to no wear. The metal cap on the tree ornament is marked Italy. The Santa ornament has the same type of cap with obscured lettering but ...
$30 USD2 Austrian Clown Head Glass Christmas Ornaments
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass
A pair of Mid Century figural glass Christmas ornaments in the shape of clown heads, made in Austria. They're about 3-1/4" high, silvered with a white finish and colorful face, hat, and collar painting. There are a couple of small areas of finish wear around the eye and eyebrow areas but overall they're in excellent condition. Price is for the pair.
$39 USDMadonna and Child Scene Austrian Silvered Glass Christmas Ornament
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass
This vintage silvered glass Christmas ornament is an oval nut or fruit organic shape with images of the Madonna and Child embossed in high relief in the recessed center. It measures 3-1/4" high by about 2" wide. The portrait like scene is framed in bright pink with white mica glitter around the rim opening. The silver back is lobed with vertical pink lines.

$26 USDMercury Glass Candle Beads Scene Pink Indent Diorama Christmas Ornament
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass:Diorama Scene
A larger 1950s mercury glass indent scene or diorama Christmas ornament in bright pink with an unusual bumpy or stippled border framing the opening. The 2-1/2" diameter ornament has and attractive beaded candle scene inside. Spikes of mercury glass bead clusters and glittered snow beads surround a blown mercury glass candle with twisted red flame. The metallic pink finish is in good condition with little wear and there are no chips, cracks, or damage. The metal cap is marked Japan.
$32 USDPair Roosters Clip On Glass Christmas Ornaments
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass
These two 1980s glass rooster Christmas ornaments are attached to metal spring clips and are about 3-3/4" high. They were made in West Germany by Inge-Glas. They're basically the same with subtle paint variations, one has a more defined beak, the other a slightly different shape to the head. In excellent condition with no damage. Price is for the pair.
$34 USDPink and Silver Owl Clip On Bird Glass Christmas Ornament
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass
I believe this old clip-on glass owl Christmas ornament is from Czechoslovakia, possibly pre-war Russia. It's 4" high not including the tin spring clip, painted silver and metallic pink with red-orange beak, eyes, and talons. There's a little paint wear to the high points of the feathers, otherwise good condition. The clip is oxidized and rusty but still works fine.
$36 USDWired Balloon West German Glass Christmas Ornament With Cherub Scrap
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass
These rust or brick red colored wired blown glass hot air balloon Christmas ornaments were made in post-war Western Germany. They're about 5-1/4" long, wrapped with thin crinkly bullion wire. A Dresden silver paper cherub decoration is attached to the center mast of each. There is some mild scratching of the color to the round bulbs where the wires have rubbed, and a few wires are loose, mostly just from shifting. Two are available, price is per ornament.
$55 USD1800s Antique German Silver Kugel Christmas Ornament
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass
Kugels were first made in Germany in 1848. They can range from 1 to 18 inches diameter. Larger, heavy ones came first, then smaller ones were used as Christmas tree ornaments. It is said that F.W. Woolworth imported the first kugels to America in about 1880. Germany and France made hand blown glass kugels until the early 1900s. This one is silver, about 2-1/2 inches diameter, or 7-3/4" in circumference. The original brass cap is very secure and tight with no sliding. The interior mercury ...

Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass:Diorama Scene
This green glass indented scene Christmas ornament was made in Japan in the late 1940s to mid 1950s. Inside the concave recess in the glass is a hard plastic golden reindeer figure, standing atop a sprig of bottle brush greenery. There's a ground cover of glittery white mica snow and the opening is decorated with silver glitter. The metal cap is marked Japan. About 2-1/4" high to the top of the cap by 2 inches wide, in very good condition with no damage and very little wear from age and handling.
$70 USD1800s German Green Glass Kugel Christmas Ornament
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass
This authentic green kugel glass Christmas ornament was made in Germany in the late 1800s to early 1900s. It's about 2-3/4" diameter with a circumference of 8-3/4 inches. Kugels are colored within the glass, not painted or finished on the outside, and the mercury silvering is on the inside. The ornament has a nice metallic lime green coloring with typical spotting and crazing crackling of the interior finish. When you hold the kugel up to strong light, you can see some semi-transparency from ...
$29 USDUnsilvered Patriotic Red White Blue Glass Christmas Ornament WWII Era
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass:War Era Wwii Unsilvered
The unsilvered painted patriotic decoration on this 2-1/2" diameter round glass Christmas ornament intrigues me. It's almost identical to the decoration of some older miniature German glass bell ornaments in my collection. This ornament is definitely American though, dating to the 1940s World War II years according to my books. The design features white painted stars in a wide red center stripe, bordered by narrower blue stripes above and below, all on a semi-opaque white background. The metal ...
$40 USDUnsilvered Christmas War Ornaments Patriotic Red White Blue Paper Caps
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass:War Era Wwii Unsilvered
This pair of 2-1/4" patriotic horizontal striped Christmas ornaments is from the 1940s World War II years, when use of silver nitrate was diverted to military use only, and manufacturers could not even obtain metal for hangers and caps. They're decorated identically, with transparent red and blue stripes alternating with opaque white. Both ornaments have their original foil paper hangers, fairly uncommon as they're flimsy and people didn't like them, often preferring to replace them with spare ...
$29 USDGerman Figural Glass Santa Claus With Tree Christmas Ornament
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass
This figural Santa Claus glass Christmas ornament was made in Germany in the 1930s. The glass is very thin, the red paint flaking and darkened a bit with age.
