GermanSteins.com carries a selection of authentic handmade German glass Christmas ornaments. Each glass ornament is hand blown in Germany or Poland by master craftsmen. Ornaments are a great way to celebrate Oktoberfest in December, or admire classic German architecture. Decorate your Christmas tree with traditional German motifs of nutcrackers, edelweiss or St. Nicholas.
The original glass Christmas ornament can trace its history back to the German town of Lauscha in the mid 1800’s. Local glassblower Hans Greiner designed glass Christmas ornaments with mercury or lead, giving them a lustrous appearance. Greiner’s designs quickly gained popularity, and were even ordered for Queen Victoria’s Christmas tree. While the glass ornament designs were traditionally baubles (glass spheres), improvements in technology led to more intricate designs like German beer boots or even famous buildings.
