Winking Santa Christmas Ornament

Collectible mouth blown, hand painted Christmas ornament from Merck Family's Old World Christmas.

Winking Santa is delightfully cheerful with a smiling face and mischievous wink! Ornament is 4 3/4" and brilliantly colored with sparkling glitter detail.

The legend of Santa Claus was derived from the European figure St. Nicholas by 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.

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!
