Old World Christmas Creations
Each figural glass ornament produced for The Merck Family's
Old World Christmas is hand crafted in age-old tradition using the
same techniques that originated in the 1800's. Molten glass is mouth-blown
into finely carved molds available only to the Merck Family's Old
World Christmas, before a hot solution of liquid silver is poured
inside. The ornaments are then hand-painted and glittered in a series
of labor-intensive steps to achieve the beautiful creations.
