Blue Crab Christmas Ornament

12184 Merck Family's Old World Christmas

Made of mouth blown, hand painted glass. Crab ornament measures approximately 2 3/4". Top and front shown in photo.

Cancer, the crab, is the fourth sign of the zodiac. People born under this sign are traditional, sensitive, and nurturing. In ancient Greece, the crab was considered to be sacred, and in many eastern countries they are a good omen. In China the craba is a symbol of wealth and a happy marriage.

This traditional and beautiful glass ornament was carefully mouth-blown into a finely crafted mold. Then a hot solution of liquid silver was poured inside. Finally, it was delicately hand-painted and glittered for you to enjoy and cherish as a holiday heirloom!
