Reindeer Ornament

In the 1822 poem A Visit from St. Nicholas, Santa Claus traveled in a sleigh pulled by eight magical flying reindeer. This was inspired by the legend of the Norwegian Julbok, or Christmas goat, that pulled the chariot of Thor, the thunder god. Santa's Reindeer make his magical trip possible. 2 in. x 4 in. x 4.5 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.
