Manufacturer: West Germany Christmas Ornaments
A nice grouping of 3 vintage glass Christmas tree ball ornaments, all marked on their silver caps, West Germany. There are 2 red balls and 1 blue. All have four vertical white paint areas and swirled squiggly lines of white base glue and dark gray glitter. They came out of the same older home together.
These round glass ornaments measure about 2 3/8 inches in diameter, and about 2 3/4 inches from the top of the hanging metal loop on the cap to the rounded ball pontil at the bottom. On the two red balls the rounded pontil sticks out at the end, while on the blue ball the rounded pontil sticks out less and is at the center of a small concave circle. Caps with hanging loops are firmly attached for hanging, but you can lift these caps up higher if you choose to look underneath.
We've included several views with the 3rd image trying to show the pontils on the bottom and the last two images showing the West Germany marking on one of them. Please use the zoom feature to examine closely. Also, please note that the box used for photographing in some images was used for ease of display only and is not included with this sale.
Nice usable vintage condition but show expected age/wear/use & storage wear. If you lift up the hanging caps on these ornaments, you will see a bit of chipping on the top rim of the necks but the caps fully hide this. There are no other chips or cracks. While the swirl designs make these ornaments eye-catching, a good bit of the dark silver gray glitter applied to the white base glue is gone/worn. Between the base white glue lines and the glitter that remains there is plenty of decoration here, but you need to know a lot of glitter is gone as often happens with these ornaments, with the amount varying by ornament and in differing places on them (please understand that some could come off during shipping as often happens and you may see this when unwrapping the ornaments). These older ornaments show other use/age wear such as scratches, dots and scrapes through the top color to show the silver underneath, rubbed spots, some light and dark spotting, other general surface wear, etc. But all adds to the believeability of age of these pieces.
We are listing many other Christmas ornaments. Should you be interested in more than one listing, please contact us prior to placing the order so that we can provide you with shipping cost savings by packing them in one package. The system will automatically provide shipping costs for each listing as if mailed separately. We would be pleased to calculate and provide the postage savings for you. |
