This is the small blue engine from the classic children's story, The Little Engine That Could, by Watty Piper. He successfully pulls a train full of toys and food over a mountain after larger engines refuse to help, teaching a lesson in determination and optimism through its famous refrain, 'I think I can'. 1.75 in. x 1.5 in. x 3 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.
