Double Sided Indent. Bird on one side; Star on the other. 1930s German Glass Christmas Tree Ornament. Wonderful and different indent. Entire ornament is pebbled in texture.. a really difficult mold to create (very time consuming) Colorful bird is on branch. Bird is gold, red, and blue...with large, bright blue eye. Then sitting on a green branch. Green of tree towards top and bottom of indent. On other side is a deeply embossed star with circles indented inbetween. Green highlighted star. 2.75" and in very good condition. Glass ornament blown in Germany and hand painted there in the period after World War I in the early 1930s. This was a cottage industry, a means for the Germans to make money during the winter when they could not work in the fields. The sons and fathers blew the ornaments. The girls and mom would silver the ornaments inside, and then individually paint the ornaments, and grandma would take to the train station in the spring when the others were back in the fields. Then they went to the sea coast, put on ships, and arrived in New York to be delivered across the country, and we used them to decorate our trees. The origin is Lauscha, Germany. We are an older couple who just have to downsize. These ornaments did not fit on the trees this year, and it seems senseless to keep them in boxes in the back closet.
