English Mastiff Old World Christmas Glass Ornament

Old World Christmas Ornament, English Mastiff
This giant breed is a descendant of the molossus, an extinct Roman war dog; the current gentler version was developed in England. These dogs are great protectors and family dogs, but they have giant appetites to match their size. Did you know that a mastiff sailed over on the Mayflower?

Hand crafted in age-old tradition with techniques that originated in the 1800s
Molten glass is mouth-blown into finely carved molds
Ornaments are all hand-painted and glittered in a series of labor-intensive steps to achieve the beautiful creations
Traditionally designed, hand-crafted ornaments

This is a brand new ornament from the Old World Christmas collection. All ornaments in the collection include a "story tag" on the hook, along with the OWC metal tag
