My daughter and I have been collecting vintage and antique Christmas ornaments for many years. Some came from my mother and a few even came from my grandmothers! We have always tried to buy a Frazier Fir Christmas tree so that there is lots of room to hang ornaments and balls between the branches. We try to hang the best ones higher up on the tree to avoid collisions with little people and pets but inevitably we lose one each year!
The beauty of antique and vintage glass Christmas ornaments can’t be surpassed! There is a glow through the translucent delicate hand blown glass. There is the whimsy of some of the shapes. There is the wonder of how each was hand painted by a long ago artist. There is the sentimentality of those who have gone before us and celebrated Christmas with these treasures! There is the wonder of every new child who sees these ornaments for the first time and then for every year to come. Today, especially, it feels so good to cling to Christmases long ago. These one of a kind treasures bring comfort and joy to us today.
One of the easiest and also prettiest ways to display antique and vintage glass ornaments is to pile them up in a pretty bowl, a pedestal or under a cloche! They are safe on a display shelf, buffet or mantel and can be viewed up close. In minutes a beautiful Christmas display is achieved. They can even last all winter as pretty decorations!
We are pleased to offer you an assortment of antique and vintage Christmas ornaments this year on Raspberry and Royal Home Instagram site!
