Hippopotamus Blown Glass Tree Ornament by Old World Christmas

The hippopotamus is the third largest land animal and is native to Africa. Its name comes from the Greek words hippos meaning horse and patamos meaning river since its cries sound similar to a horse's neighing and it spends much of its time in the water.

Each figurative glass ornament produced by Old World Christmas is hand crafted in age-old tradition using the same techniques that originated in the 1800's. Molten glass is mouth-blown into finely carved molds made exclusively for Old World Christmas, before a hot solution of liquid silver is poured inside. The ornaments are then hand-painted and glittered in a series of labor-intensive steps to achieve the beautiful creations.

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.
