Hand-blown in molds that have been restored from the 1900s, these glass ornaments are then affectionately hand-painted and patinated to give them each a unique, antiqued appearance. About Nostalgie-Christbaumschmuck: Nestled in the small village of Lauscha, this beloved German glass studio is steeped in tradition, whimsy, and craftsmanship. Here is where traditional German ornaments came into being and Nostaglie continues the tradition still today.
