Imported from Germany by Merck Family’s Old World Christmas, this long retired ornament is part of a special collection of ornaments that was inspired by the craftsmanship and memories of Birgit Muller-Blech’s glass ornament making roots. When the first glass Christmas ornaments were created in the Thuringian region of Germany, Birgit’s ancestors were there!

This exquisite ornament was designed by Birgit and hand–crafted in the same manner used by her ancestors; Birgit is from one of Germany’s premier glassblowing families. Her amazing heritage of craftsmanship and artistry is evident in each ornament she creates. Due to the extraordinary skill and time required to bring each ornament to life, Birgit’s Christmas Collection was, and still is, one of the most limited and collectible ornament collections offered. Each design is retired after its very limited production.

This exquisite ornament is from Birgit’s Famous Fairytales Collection; Birgit transforms the beloved story of Cinderella into a stunning blown-glass collectors’ piece. Here, the soon-to-be princess in on her way to the ball in her charming pumpkin carriage. Expectantly hand-painted and glittered in lovely tones of green, gold, yellow, lavender and orange, this retired collectors’ piece has an Old World Christmas catalog number of #114, and is in “new”, mint condition, from store stock. “Cinderella’s Carriage” measures 6 ¼” and comes in a see-through plastic ornament box with a certificate of authenticity.
