Faberge Egg Hand Blown Glass Christmas Ornaments Balls

Gold ribbon work on a gold ground is a difficult thing to bring off, and it works here because the two golds behave differently. The matte body holds light and softens it while the painted ribbon catches it, so on these oval ornaments the pattern reads by texture rather than by contrast of color. From across a room you see a warm shape. Step closer and the whole ribbon design resolves. These are made in a workshop in Poland where the glass is drawn out over an open flame and the painting is done at a separate bench. The two stages explain why one egg is never a copy of the next. A blown form varies a fraction in its curve, and freehand ribbon lines follow that curve instead of a printed template. An egg shape gives a tree something a round bauble cannot. It hangs longer, it fills the vertical gap between branches, and it draws the eye downward rather than stopping it at a point of shine. That is what makes these elegant tree ornaments useful in a display that is otherwise all spheres. They rest just as easily in a mantel garland, or under a glass dome on a hall table where they stay in view long after the tree is down. Collectors who mix eclectic ornaments across decades tend to have room for classic style ornaments like this one, and a gold matte piece sits comfortably beside older glass without pretending to be old itself. The same gold embellished design also comes in red matte, silver, champagne and burgundy matte. #productDescription { color: #333333; word-wrap: break-word; font-size: small; line-height: initial; margin: 0.5em 0px 0em 25px; } #productDescription_feature_div > h2.default { font-size: medium; margin: 0 0 0.25em; } #productDescription_feature_div > h2.books { color:#333 !important; font-size:21px !important; line-height: 1.3; padding-bottom: 4px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; } #productDescription_feature_div > h2.softlines { color:#333 !important; font-size:21px !important; line-height: 1.3; padding-bottom: 4px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; } #productDescription > p, #productDescription > div, #productDescription > table { margin: 0 0 1em 0; } #productDescription p { margin: 0em 0 1em 1em; } #productDescription h3 { font-weight: normal; color: #333333; font-size: 1.23em; clear: left; margin: 0.75em 0px 0.375em -15px; } #productDescription table { border-collapse: inherit !important; margin-bottom: 0; } #productDescription table img { max-width: inherit !important; } #productDescription table td { font-size: small; vertical-align: inherit !important; } #productDescription ul li { margin: 0 0 0 20px; } #productDescription ul li ul { list-style-type: disc !important; margin-left: 20px !important; } #productDescription ul ul li { list-style-type: disc !important; margin-left: 20px !important; } #productDescription > ul ul li { list-style-type: disc !important; } #productDescription ul li ul li { margin: 0 0 0 20px; } #productDescription .aplus p { margin: 0 0 1em 0; } #productDescription small { font-size: smaller; } #productDescription.prodDescWidth { max-width: 1000px } P.when('jQuery').execute(function($){ $("#productDescription table").each(function() { var width = $(this).attr('width'); if (width) width += 'px'; else width = 'auto'; $(this).css('width', width); var padding = $(this).attr('cellpadding'); if (padding) padding += 'px'; else padding = '0px'; $(this).css('padding', padding); }); }); #productDescription h3 { margin: 0.75em 0px 0.375em -1px; }
