• Blown Glass
• Dimensions: 1.5 X 1.5 X 5 (HxLxW)

Each figurative glass ornament produced by Old World Christmas is handcrafted in age-old tradition using the same techniques that originated in the 1800s. 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.

Red Onion Ornament. One of the oldest cultivated vegetables, onions were once believed to protect against evil. In Ancient Egypt, the onion symbolized eternity because of its circle within a circle layered structure. In Ancient Greece and Rome, soldiers and athletes ate onions to bring them strength, valor and invincibility.
