Frog on Lily Pad

This sweet little frog is ready to leap onto your Spring or Christmas tree!

From Merck Family’s Old World Christmas comes “Frog on Lily Pad”. This long retired ornament is made of mouth blown-glass, and is hand-painted and glittered. “New”, in mint condition, from store stock, this retired ornament measures 2 ¾” and is topped with the star cap trademark signifying its authenticity as an heirloom ornament hand-crafted by Inge-Glas of Germany.

Using antique molds, each exquisite ornament was painstakingly mouth-blown into an original antique mold. Once the ornament cooled, a solution of hot liquid silver was poured inside, giving the ornament its shine and reflectivity. After this stage, the ornament was elegantly hand-painted in festive Christmas colors. Finally, the long stem was carefully cut and the distinctive star cap attached. It took approximately seven days to create this heirloom quality ornament!

Inge-Glas was founded by the direct descendants of the original glassblowers of Lauscha, Germany. Passed down through thirteen generations, this family of gifted artisans represents a living legacy to the exceptional talent needed to create these beautiful collectibles.
