Legends of mermaids date back to ancient times. Always lovely, mermaids are human to the waist and have a fish tail below. They have beautiful voices and love to sing. Stories are told of mermaids rescuing sailors, or falling in love with a human and giving up the sea to be with the one they love. This mermaid ornament is beautiful on a Christmas Tree.
About Old World Christmas: Old World Christmas is the premier brand of Christmas Ornaments in the country. Tim and Beth Merck reintroduced these figurative designs to the United States in 1979. As a couple who shared a special love for Christmas, Tim & Beth revitalized the art of mouth-blown fine glass ornaments. They offer a vast selection of finely crafted affordable ornaments that can fit anyone's style. 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.
