Taj Mahal Blown Glass Tree Ornament by Old World Christmas - RETIRED

The Taj Mahal is an ivory-white marble mausoleum, sitting along the Yamuna river in Agra, India. The emperor built it in memory of his favorite wife. Construction lasted 16 years and has been considered one of the most beautiful buildings in the world since its creation in 1648. This is a retired Old World Christmas ornament, which means they are harder to find since they are not making them anymore.

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.
