SPECIAL FEATURES

Enchanting 360 degree winter wonderland in the miniature! A vintage glass dome ornament features tiny antique scrap figures to include two boys pulling a sled with a girl and baby bundled in a blanket, frisky dog, and tiny blackbirds looking for food scraps among the snow. Tiny vintage tree sprigs are decorated with glittered snow and multi-colored antique glass beads. A circular decorative fence made with three different vintage Dresden paper trims adds the perfect decorative finish.  HANDMADE AND SIGNED BY GLENN GIAIMO.

THIS ONE-OF-A-KIND ORNAMENT IS MADE ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY WITH ANTIQUE AND VINTAGE MATERIALS to include: glass ornaments from the 1890s to1950s, most of which were made in Germany; colorful Victorian embossed & die-cut paper “scraps” and chromolithographs from postcards and advertising trade cards, made in Europe between the 1870s and 1910; antique and vintage fabric to include chenille, lace, ribbon and metallic trims; antique and vintage tinsel from tree garlands and old-stock German-made Lametta tinsel; gold and silver old-stock Dresden paper trims, crepe paper, foil, gift wrap, spun glass, and other embellishments. Items described as “antique” are dated between 1870 and the early 1900s (prior to WWI). Items described as “vintage” are dated between 1915 (WWI) and the 1950s (mid-century). We also use Dresden trims (only on occasion) and crinkle wire (always used for durability) made more recently in Germany using techniques and equipment that have not changed over the past 150 years.
