    General Information

    Christmas Fir Cones.

    Hand-blown and painted with ice finish. Each cone comes with at attached metal eye for hanging.

    Ice Glistening on the Fir Tree.

    The Greiner-Mai glassworks in Lauscha has been in family hands for more than 150 years. According to documents dating from 1830, one of their ancestors, the Christmas tree ornament blower Christian Günter Greiner-Mai, produced small, hand-blown glass fruits, which were used for jewellery chains and jewellery. Shortly thereafter the first glass Christmas tree ornaments were created.
    Then as now the baubles, fir cones, icicles, bells, or olives are hand blown from transparent glass cylinders with the help of the flame of a gas burner, shaped and dipped in a silver solution. The silver must dry a while before the ice finish is applied with a fine brush made of squirrel tail hair. Finally, the ornament is crowned with a little metal eye for hanging.

    Ice glitter on the Christmas tree

    The Greiner-Mais glassworks in Lauscha has been in the hands of the family for over 150 years. One of their ancestors, the Christmas tree ornament blower Christian Günter Greiner-Mai, demonstrably supplied small mouth-blown glass fruits since 1830, which were used for the production of chains and jewelry. This soon gave rise to the first glass tree ornaments at Christmas.

    Damals as today, the ornaments - balls, fir and icicles, bells or olives - are freely blown from transparent glass flasks in front of the flame of the gas burner, modeled and dipped in a silver solution. This must dry for a while before the ice varnish can be applied with fine brushes made of squirrel tail hair. At the very end, only the little crown is put on, the small suspension eyelet made of metal.
