Lifesavers Ornament Old World Christmas

Lifesavers Ornament Old World Christmas. In 1912 Clarence Cane developed lifesavers as an alternative to chocolate to sell in the summer. He saw a pill making machine in a pharmacy and wondered if this could make hard round candies that would not melt in the summer months. Lifesavers have been one of the most popular candies ever made.

Each figurative glass ornament produced by Old World Christmas is hand crafted in age-old tradition using the same techniques that originated in the 1800’s. Molten glass is mouth-blown into finely carved molds made exclusively for Old World Christmas, before a hot solution of liquid silver is poured inside. The ornaments are then hand-painted and glittered in a series of labor-intensive steps to achieve the beautiful creations.
