Christmas Sweethearts

Walking in a Winter Wonderland!

“Christmas Sweethearts” was designed by artist and Old World Christmas co-owner E.M. Merck. It was available only at special Old World Christmas Events during the 1999 Holiday Season. It is a limited edition piece; produced specifically for 1999. Only 15,000 of these sweet collectibles were created.

Mr. and Mrs. Claus, all bundled up for a winter stroll, was made in Germany for Old World Christmas by the skilled artisans of Inge-Glas. This festive collectible made of glass was carefully mouth blown, one at a time, into a finely crafted porcelain mold. After the inside was coated with a wash of silver for reflection, it was then hand-painted with brightly colored lacquers. After the ornament stem is snipped, the trademark Star Cap is attached…an heirloom is born! It took approximately seven days to create each one of these magical ornaments.

Long retired, Special Event Piece # 1570, “Christmas Sweethearts” measures 4 ¼”. Molded into the back of the ornament is the commemorative year; 1999. This hard to find collectible piece is in mint condition from holidayshopsaratoga.com store stock.
