Snow Cone Ornament Old World Christmas

• Dimensions: 4 X 2 X 2 (HxLxW)

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.

Snow Cone Ornament.  Snow cones are an iconic dessert that originated during the Industrial Revolution. Trucks would transport ice from the northeast to the hot southern states. Along the way children would ask drivers for a small scraping of ice. Their mothers would then flavor the ice for a sweet icy treat.
