The legend of Santa Claus is derived from the European figure St. Nicholas and American writers who wrote children's poems in the 19th century. Santa Claus became the jolly man clad in red, the folk hero all children dream about on Christmas Eve. Santa Claus embodies childhood innocence and magical delight. Our Winking Santa blown-glass ornament is a festive addition to your Christmas tree! Measures 4.75" X 3" X 2.25"

Each figurative glass ornament produced by Old World Christmas is hand crafted in age-old tradition using the same techniques that originated in the 1800's. Molten glass is mouth-blown into finely carved molds made exclusively for Old World Christmas, before a hot solution of liquid silver is poured inside. The ornaments are then hand-painted and glittered in a series of labor-intensive steps to achieve the beautiful creations.
