Manufacturer: U.S.A. Vintage Glass Christmas Ornaments
A nice grouping of 6 vintage glass Christmas ball ornaments, all marked on their silver caps, Made in U.S.A. There are 3 blue glass balls, 1 olive green ball and 2 yellow balls. All have a white paint décor with attached multi-color glitter.
On the 3 blue and 1 green balls, the design has alternating hearts placed right side up and upside down, along with straight and curved lines. On the 2 yellow balls the design is of a 6 petal flower. All have a similar style and look, so we know they would have been made by the same manufacturer, although we don't know which one, and they work together as a set. They all came out of the same older home.
What's interesting is that on all the ornaments the horizontal design stops short of fully encircling the ball. As made, on each ball, there is an about 1 inch space on one side that does not show the white and glitter design. We don't know why these would have been made this way, this is not an area where the design has been worn away over time. Perhaps how these balls were manufactured the machinery did not permit continuing the design fully around the ball, we don't know.
These round glass ornaments measure about 2 1/8 inches in diameter, and about 3 inches to the top of the hanging metal loop on the cap. We've provided 5 images to show from varied sides, and you can see the spaces where there is no design. One image shows a close-up of the USA marking on the cap. Please use the zoom feature to examine closely. Also, please note that the box used for photographing these ornaments was used for ease of display only and is not included with this sale.
Excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, pieces missing. There is expected age, use, handling, storage wear on these balls. While none of the design is missing, there is much surface wear in the form of scratches, rubbed spots, some discoloration or extra paint/glitter, other general wear, with this varying by ball. All the caps sit fine and firmly for hanging, some can be lifted up and some can not. In the case of one which we can lift we can see the top glass is chipped under the cap, but this is fully covered by the cap. Nothing unusual here, usual type wear for vintage ornaments, which adds to their aged look and charm.
We are listing many other Christmas ornaments.
