Dalmatian Pup Ornament

Dalmatians have developed a special relationship with horses, calming and protecting them. Due to this trait and their attractive coats, they became popular as carriage dogs, riding along and standing guard when the owners were away. When fire engines were drawn by horses, dalmatians became firehouse mascots and often rode on the fire engines. 1.75 in. x 2.25 in. x 3.5 in.
Each figural glass ornament produced by Old World Christmas is hand crafted 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.
