Orange-Wedge

Merck Family's Old World Christmas, 28061

Ornament measures approximately 3 1/4". Ornament looks like a slice of juicy citrus fruit, orange.

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!

Oranges have always been considered a very special treat at Christmastime. Many years ago oranges were costly and scarce during the winter. They were highly appreciated and quite a delicacy. Santa often left one of these sweet fruits in the toe of a child's stocking.
