Stunning Girl with kitty in Gilded Blue Dirigible with Painted Rose

9” tall, including blue silk tassels

SPECIAL FEATURES

This beauty glows with soft blue and dusty pink tones! Glenn selected our best victorian antique bump tinsel garland to surround a fabulous antique scrap girl with her kitten in a wood crate (with motto “With love for thee, darling, I’m deeply smitten! Oh, say canst thou love me as I love my kitten!”).   She is attached to a vintage glass blue ornament - with it’s original hand-painted rose -decorated with antique gold Dresden paper diamond trim and silver loop border. The perfect final touch was the addition of antique scrap pansies and a beautiful vintage tassel fringe in blue tones that match the blanket. HANDMADE AND SIGNED BY GLENN GIAIMO.

THIS ONE-OF-A-KIND ORNAMENT IS MADE ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY WITH ANTIQUE AND VINTAGE MATERIALS to include: glass ornaments from the 1890s to1950s, most of which were made in Germany; colorful Victorian embossed & die-cut paper “scraps” and chromolithographs from postcards and advertising trade cards, made in Europe between the 1870s and 1910; antique and vintage fabric to include chenille, lace, ribbon and metallic trims; antique and vintage tinsel from tree garlands and old-stock German-made Lametta tinsel; gold and silver old-stock Dresden paper trims, crepe paper, foil, gift wrap, spun glass, and other embellishments. Items described as “antique” are dated between 1870 and the early 1900s (prior to WWI). Items described as “vintage” are dated between 1915 (WWI) and the 1950s (mid-century). We also use Dresden trims (only on occasion) and crinkle wire (always used for durability) made more recently in Germany using techniques and equipment that have not changed over the past 150 years.
