New ❤️ Marolin 2011095 Vintage Mouthblown Glass Ornament Nuremberg Christ Child 💯

This Nuremberg Christ Child is a brand-new ornament, made to look like a family heirloom which can become a family treasure to be passed down to future generations. Made in Germany. Year of origin ca. 1900. Mouth-blown glass using authentic old molds- the forms date back to the beginning of the 20th Century. Hand-painted-The patina finish gives a retro and nostalgic character to the ornament. Measures 1.18 x 1.5 x 3.25 inches. Metal cap enclosure at top for easy hanging. Das Christkind translates as The Christ Child in English but Germans dont think of the Christkind as the baby Jesus. The Christkind is often described as a young girl with Christ-like qualities and is often dressed in white and gold, with curly blond hair, a tall golden crown and angel-wing-like long golden sleeves. In some parts of Germany, mainly the south east of the country, children write to the Christkind Christkindl asking for presents. The letters to the Christkind are decorated with sugar glued to the envelope to make them sparkly and attractive to look at. This ornament exemplifies Marolins niche of producing mouth-blown ornaments using old molds, then painting and finishing the items in such a way to create a vintage or antique appearance. You will notice brush marks, minor color inconsistencies, rubs and an occasional small scratch, or even what appears to be missing paint. These are all part of the artistic charm that goes into the creation of Marolin ornaments.
