Description
Exceptional arrival of a batch of Christmas balls in antique red cracked glass ø15cm, as they were made in the 19th century.
Until 1850, tradition was to decorate your tree with wreaths, dried fruit, especially apples. In 1858 a drought deprived the Vosges of their annual harvest. This is how a glassblower had the idea of blowing his first glass balls, colored red to remind us of apples. Very quickly, the tradition took hold.
Returning to the tradition of the glassblower, these superb balls with exceptional dimensions take on an oxidation-effect patina which gives them a sumptuous and magical allure, like jewels hanging on the tree ...
A "must-have" to enchant our end of the year 2021.
Available in several sizes and colors.
* books and bases sold separately
