Limited edition; #2189 of 5000.
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 magnificent 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 amazingly detailed, blown-glass ornament is from Birgit’s Limited Edition collection. Santa Claus removes the presents from his large bag, each wrapped with colorful paper and gold ribbons. Sitting on his knee is a cunning little lass who can hardly wait to see what’s in those boxes for her.

This piece is #2189 of 5,000; truly limited in the amount that was produced! “Santa’s Place of Honor” measures approximately 6 ½”, is topped with the trademark star cap signifying its authenticity as an heirloom created by Inge-Glas.
