18074 Merck Family's Old World Christmas

**Introduced 2009**

Colorful red bird ornament measuring approximately 4", made of mouth blown, hand painted glass. Beautiful bird decoration.

Birds are symbols of happiness and joy, so they are regarded as a necessity on the Christmas tree. Glassblowers often kept wild birds during the winter months since the sound of the gas flame in the workshop prompted the birds to sing. Then when spring arrived, the birds returned to freedom.
