   One of the most unique & interesting lines I've come across in my search for hand blown German ornaments! When I first saw these, I thought the glassblower was sending me pictures of things his grandfather made, just to confirm that this was the sort of thing I was looking for...
    In a tiny shop in what used to be East Germany, two 3rd generation master craftsmen create these "vintage" pieces, using their grandfather's molds, tools, and techniques. As a matter of fact, if their grandfather somehow came back to life, he could walk into their shop & pretty much pick up where he left off, that's how little things have changed!       
   Rather than just offer you "more of the same", they decided to create a line of "vintage look" ornaments, using their extensive collection of antique molds. They carefully age each piece, soaking classic style caps and clips in a solution to lightly rust them, then they dull down the silvered finish and mute the lacquers used in painting...the result is an ornament that blends in perfectly when you display your originals! This small shop has a large collection of rare and unique molds, allowing the collector to fill in the blanks spots due to the high costs of the originals, or the novice can start their collection with these, and move up to the originals as money permits...  ***As with any hand crafted product, there may be slight variations in size and shading or actual "scrap" used ***
