A unique concoction of the traditional and the offbeat, modern Christmas ornaments add shine and shimmer to the festive décor. It is believed that most of what now passes to be an inevitable part of the American tradition has its origin in Central Europe. Although Christmas trees first appeared in America in the 1700s, the emergence of the modern Christmas tree, dates back to 15th and 16th century Germany. German mercenaries, called Hessians, who fought valiantly in the Revolutionary War, consequently brought with them the tradition of decorated trees. Christmas ornaments in fact came in vogue as late as 1880 when F.W. Woolworth of five-and-dime fame unwillingly stocked his store with ornaments manufactured by the Germans.
The village of Lauscha in Germany first manufactured the glass ornaments in 1800. There was division of labor as far as the creation of glass ornaments was concerned. Men were engaged in glass blowing, while women were involved in silvering and children in giving the finishing touch by adding a coat of color to it. Until 1925, virtually all glass ornaments were being manufactured there. By 1935, more than 250 million Christmas ornaments were being imported to United States. Thus the Christmas trees which were earlier decorated with edibles, were later replaced by radiant glass ornaments. However, the first record of Christmas tree balls saw its genesis as early as 1848 while pine cones were among the first few designs created by the artisans. The ideal situation underwent a drastic change with the disruption of this cottage industry, post World War II. In fact the separation of Germany paved way for Japan and Czechoslovakia to capture the North American market.
At present, the European glass reflector ornaments, executed with dexterity and ingenuity at the same time drawing upon the tradition of hand made craft work, are prevalent. They are inclusive of traditional images of Christmas, such as nutcrackers and Santa blown glass models, which are a customary part of Christmas ornaments, meant to be hung on trees. Next in primacy stands the birds, which are also considered to be among the most common figural tree ornament. They are regarded as biblical messengers that bring God's love and peace to the world. Birds are also symbolic of good luck and good fortune. One of the very first tree ornaments, walnuts were believed to be "the nut of the Gods" by the ancient Romans.
Different symbols have different connotations, some have religious significance, while some are simply signs of good luck or associated with charming stories from the glassmaker's past or better still, deeply rooted in German folklore. Fish and rose are ancient Christian symbols of Christ. Pickle ornament is regarded to be the German symbol of love. Baskets replete with fruits are symbolic of Christmas giving and were once frequently given by churches to the poor. A bunch of grape is the most common fruit glass ornaments, perhaps due to its religious significance. Fruits and vegetables are in fact thought to be symbolic of bountiful harvest. Musical instruments, especially horns, are prevalent since they are the harbingers of Christmas and were blown to welcome Christ into the world. Icicles have an old superstition associated with them. It is believed that one can forecast the depth of winter's snows by measuring the length of icicles between Christmas and New Year's Day. Stars metaphorically represent the star of Bethlehem. Red and white capped mushroom stem, and the chimney sweep ornaments are all varied forms of good luck charm. In the Victorian era, reflectors, referred to as "witches eyes" were placed on the Christmas tree to ward off evil present in the home during the holiday season.
Some symbols are believed to have political association too. The St. Charles Spaniel was an early blown glass ornament perhaps because it was the most popular pet of the Victorian era and a favorite with Queen Victoria. The teddy bear ornament is representative of the pompous, plush toy bear conceptualized by Margerette Steiff in 1903 and named after President Teddy Roosevelt. The dog in the potato sack ornament has the inscription "my darling", the trademark of Witman Company as it was originally molded by this company and "My Darling" was the love name for a family doll.
The latest fad for finished Keepsake ornaments in a wide array of material has become the craze of the day. In 1973, Hallmark heralded this new tradition of Christmas decoration and gave birth to a new collectible industry through its production of six ball ornaments and twelve yarn figures. Now a host of ornament industries have made a beeline to woo the customers, through their wide range of keepsake ornaments.
While purchasing, people want their Christmas ornaments to be unique, an eye-candy to earn the attention of their guests. Hence, great care is taken both by the artisans, who display their finesse through their craftsmanship, as well as by the buyer who wants to shell out their money only in exchange for something worthwhile.
