Pink High-top Basketball Sneaker Blown Glass Tree Ornament by Old World Christmas

Hi-Top Sneakers were developed in the early 1900s as athletic shoes and became the preferred basketball shoe. Later as the shoes were worn by music and movie stars, their popularity soared. Now available in a huge variety of colors and styles, the High- Top Sneaker has become an American classic. 

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. 

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.
