German Stein Ornament Old World Christmas

German Stein Ornament Old World Christmas.  Prost! Stein is an English neologism for stoneware mugs. These popular collectibles are often accumulated as souvenirs and tell adventure stories. If you’re traveling in Germany however, don’t ask for a stein. It simply means stoneware and you might get your beer served in a stone bowl!

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.
