Description
Loose Vintage Glass Ball Ornaments (approx. 25-30 pieces): A spectacular jumble of mid-century glass ball ornaments in every color a Christmas tree could dream of. Reds, blues, greens, golds, pinks, and multicolor striped examples are all present, ranging from plain gloss finishes to hand-painted floral and geometric designs. Several feature decoupage-style portrait medallions depicting Santa and similar figures, and one teardrop-shaped beauty shows a ballerina silhouette. Condition varies from excellent to well-loved, with some paint loss consistent with age and use.
Boxed Set of 12 Vintage Hand-Painted Glass Ornaments: A cardboard divided box holding twelve individually nestled glass ornaments in tissue paper, mixing solid red and magenta balls with hand-painted examples featuring floral sprays, glitter banding, and colorful dot patterns. The painted ornaments show classic mid-century Eastern European styling, likely Polish or Shiny Brite-era production. A few show silvering loss on the interior, adding authentic vintage character. The box itself is original and intact, a rarity that collectors genuinely celebrate.
Vintage Glass Tree Toppers (3 pieces): Three glass tree topper pieces with long spire tails, two featuring decorative ball centerpieces adorned with rhinestone-style jewels and hand-painted details in red, teal, and pink colorways. The third is a simpler elongated silver glass spire in classic mid-century style. All show age-appropriate wear and represent the kind of ornate topper that crowns a tree with serious vintage authority.
Vintage Foil Bobeches to catch pillar candle wax drips.
Vintage Metal Filigree Bell Ornaments (2 pieces): One red and one gold open-work filigree bell ornament, each with a delicate cage-style design and small hanging loop. Both retain their shape well with minor tarnish. Classic holiday charm in a style that practically defines mid-century American Christmas decor.
Vintage Metal Bow Ornament or Clip: A small pressed metal bow-shaped ornament or clip in a bronzed gold finish, featuring a bundle of stylized arrows or ribbons at center. Likely a tree clip or package tie-on from the 1950s or 1960s. Small but characterful.
National Tinsel Mfg. Co. Ornament Hangers Box: A vintage red box of Standard Size ornament hangers, priced at 10 cents and containing 100 hangers, produced by National Tinsel Mfg. Co. The box is intact and displays beautifully with its classic green Christmas tree and leaping reindeer graphic. A fantastic display piece or functional accessory for the vintage ornament collector.
Pink Feather Tabletop Christmas Tree: A small pink feather-style tabletop Christmas tree in the vintage bottle-brush tree tradition, standing approximately 6 to 8 inches tall. Fluffy and festive, this piece leans hard into the kitschy mid-century aesthetic and would look right at home on a vanity or holiday vignette shelf.
