Richly Decorated Antique Glass Wine Bottle Victorian Ornament

5 1/2” tall

SPECIAL FEATURES
The kinds of details on this wine bottle in miniature are so lifelike it has the look of the Dresden and Sebnitz ornaments that hung on parlor tabletop feather trees during Victorian times. The glass ornament alone is over 100 years old and was created in Germany for cottage industry workers in small villages to add their own details; so here is our version of a realistic version of a wine-bottle! Hand-made and signed by Gail Giaimo

THIS ONE-OF-A-KIND ORNAMENT is made almost exclusively with antique and early vintage materials, including old glass ornament(s) with beautiful patina; detailed German made embossed scrap(s) and chromolithographs (most of them predate the 1900s and are meticulously backed with early papers and/or old tinsel); a variety of old fabric to include chenille, lace, ribbon and metallic trims; old decorative tinsel (most of which is from old tree garlands); and old papers of all kinds, including lovely old-stock Dresden paper trims, crepe paper, old foil, gift wrap, and other embellishments. The exceptions to the exclusive use of old materials are as follows: 1) occasionally we use newer Dresden paper made in Germany that has been embossed and stamped with antique equipment; 2) Our high-quality gold and silver crinkle-wire is made in Germany with antique equipment.
