Cuckoo Clock Christmas Ornament

32033 Merck Family's Old World Christmas

Ornament measures approximately 3 1/2", made of mouth blown, hand painted glass.

The Cuckoo Clock’s origins date back to the early 1600s in the Black Forest region of Europe when people carved intricate wooden clocks during the snowbound winter months. In 1738, Franz Ketterer made the first Cuckoo Clock with the little bird behind a small door that opened to let the bird call out the hour and half hour.
