Strawberry Old World Christmas Ornament

In medieval Europe, strawberries were served at festivals and important state occasions to ensure peace and prosperity. They were carved into church pillars to symbolize perfection and righteousness — and in provincial France, newlyweds were traditionally served strawberry soup as a symbol of good fortune.

This hand-crafted blown glass ornament brings that rich symbolism to your tree. Made using age-old techniques originating in the 1800s: molten glass is mouth-blown into finely carved molds, then hand-painted and glittered through a series of labor-intensive steps.
