History of Glass Christmas Ornaments
For thousands of years, garlands and garlands made of vanilla and evergreen trees have been part of the celebration. In particular, the winter festival features fragrant evergreen trees that symbolize eternal life. Early Christians borrowed the symbolism of holly, mistletoe, boxwood, rosemary, laurel, and Christmas tree from the Hebrews, Greeks, Romans, and Druids.
In Europe, live trees are planted in pots and brought indoors to inspire residents. As early as 1521, there were records of indoor and undecorated Christmas trees in Europe.
By about 1755, Christmas trees became widespread in Europe, and around this time, they were customarily decorated with candies, fruits, gilded nuts, dolls, and other ornaments. Toys and Christian symbols, including the image of the Son of Christ.
In 1841, Prince Albert, the spouse of Queen Victoria, introduced the custom of Christmas trees from his hometown of Germany. Christmas markets in European towns and villages sell gold leaf for bronzing fruits and nuts, dried fruits such as figs and plums, glass beads, paper towels, various small toys from hobby horses to drums and soldiers, as well as small cakes and sparkling ones.
Marzipan is specially used to decorate Christmas trees. We also made miniature candles for trees and made metal clips to fix the candles on the branches and collect hot wax drops.
The annual Christmas market shows that the demand for tree decorations is growing, and families seek heirlooms that can be passed onto future generations. In the Victorian era, in Europe and the United States, Christmas lights made of glass began to replace dangerous candles.
These lamps are small lamps made of coloured glass sheets with a circle of metal wires hanging on them. Each lamp is equipped with a wick and oil floating on the water. Some lamps are hand-blown glass, while others are made of patterned glass because they reflect gleaming light.
Between 1850 and 1860, glass decorations replaced the main edible decorations on trees. "Cottage industry" flourishes in the Thuringian Mountains in central Germany, where peasant families make hand-blown glass decorations.
Precisely, in a conventional glass-making house, a father and an adult fellow blow a glass tube heated on a Bunsen burner into a decorative shape. Other family members apply silver nitrate solution to the interior of the decorations so that they reflect light.
