Manufacturer: Impuls Glass Christmas Ornaments
Lovely vintage glass Christmas ornament that came out of a home with its original box. Marked Poland on ornament cap and on box with bottom of box also stating "Traditional Glass Christmas Ornaments Manufactured by Impuls (manufacturer name does not appear on ornament itself).

The egg-shaped glass ornament is a two tone gold in color or perhaps a gold and light copper in color, with a gold petal design at the top and bottom while the central color is a more reddish gold or light copper. This is augmented with silver and gold-colored glitter in lines and some curlicues. Overall a shimmery look which would look stunning along with lights on a holiday tree.

This older ornament measures about 3 1/4 inches in length without the cap and hanging loop, about 4 inches length with the cap and loop, and about 2 1/2 inches greatest width. The cap and hanging loop are firmly attached and in good shape. We've provided 8 images to show the ornament and box from varied angles. Please use the zoom feature to examine closely. The camera lighting creates white "hot spot" reflections on the shiny ornament surface.

The vintage Christmas ornament is in wonderful used condition, no chips, cracks, pieces missing. As an older ornament that was used/hung on a Christmas tree and handled, it is not mint but there really isn't anything to worry about here. There is surface age/use/wear via some dirt spots/rubbed spots/dots/wear lines mainly noted on the gold petals since the shimmery center portion already has a dotted look that hides wear rather than the flat painted look of the petals (but these painted petals are not missing any paint). The silver and gold glitter seems to be in great shape with no areas where it seems to have worn off/worn away, but as with any glittered ornament, you will have some glitter coming off as you handle/use it and possibly in shipping. The paperboard box does not have any tears/rips/pieces missing but it does show its age. You can see in the images the paper tear area on the lid and the creasing/folds to the top inner flap that goes inside the box. What you may not be able to see is that there is also a large paper tear on the underside of the box where this probably had a large inventory/price label removed, overall age spotting on the clear cellophane type side panels, and other general spotting/wear to the box (we're sorry we couldn't show all this but we are limited to 8 images and felt showing more of the ornament was the priority).

A nifty addition to any holiday tree and a great ornament to add to any collection of vintage glass Christmas balls made in Poland.
