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!
The name Zucchini comes from the Italian word for small squash, zucchino. First found in Central American, Columbus brought seeds back from his travels. The Zucchini is a jewel among the summer squashes. Its sweet light flavor and delicate texture make it a summertime favorite.
