Christmas decoration (38) - Glass

Beautiful set of 38 antique Christmas decorations of German origin, dating probably from the mid-20th century, around the 1950s.

These ornaments, mainly made of blown glass, silvered and painted, feature a variety of shapes characteristic of traditional Christmas tree decorations.

The lot includes, in particular:
- A series of nine small reflector balls, with multicolored geometric designs;
- Six silvered ornaments in the shape of walnuts, fruits and pine cones, with detailed reliefs;
- Several figurines, including two Santa Clauses;
- A miniature silvered glass coffee pot, with handle and spout, particularly original and very rare.
- Two decorative birds mounted on a single clamp-support, with their tails in fibres: a less common composition than individual birds;
- Two antique bells, one metallic-rose with a relief decoration;
- A ball adorned with a red mushroom with white spots;
- An elegant silvered glass pine tip, with white motifs, measuring about 25 cm.

The collection illustrates several decorative techniques: silvering, colored painting, relief motifs, and reflector balls. It constitutes a decorative lot evocative of Christmases of yesteryear, likely to interest collectors of antique ornaments.
