Manufacturer: Vintage Christmas Ornaments
Vintage glass Christmas tree ornament that has an unusual shape. This has a large rounded portion with a lower narrower straight section that then angles to the bottom rounded pontil. This may be a different version of the Chinese lantern or Japanese lantern shapes, we're not sure. There are some letters on the silver cap but we can't quite make them out. At best we think this says "Made in U. S. of A." but we are not sure. There is no specific manufacturer name.
This old holiday ornament has a length of about 2 1/4 inches from the flat part of the hanging cap (not including the loop) to the ball pontil on the bottom. The greatest width and depth is to the rounded section at about 1 1/2 inches. Cap with hanging loop is firmly attached for hanging but can be pulled up/out to show glass neck of the ornament.
We've tried to show varied sides in the 6 images, including the top and bottom. Please note that the camera light causes white "hot spot" reflections on the smooth surfaces. Please use the zoom feature to examine closely.
Very usable vintage condition but does show a good bit of age/wear/use & storage wear. Most notably you can see in the images the scratches/rubbed areas through the red coloring to show the light colored glass underneath on basically all sides. The glass that shows through isn't clear but it also isn't silver as seen on many other ornaments, it's something in between. If you lift the cap on this ornament you can see chipping around the top of the neck, but this is fully hidden by the cap. The cap doesn't sit totally even due to this chipping and there is also rust and other wear to the cap. There are no other chips, cracks or pieces missing. There is also lots of light/medium spotting in the red coloring and darker coloration on the neck and below the neck on this piece (this may be how made with the red color uneven, we don't know, but there is a good bit of this which you can see on close inspection but won't be noticed when hanging on the tree), other general wear, etc. But all adds to the believeability of age of this piece which we think could date to the 1940's or earlier, not sure.
