Hoping to bring a bit of cheer to post-WWII Europe, Enrico and Elisa De Carlini began handcrafting heirloom glass Christmas ornaments in their small workshop just outside of Milan, Italy, in 1947. Their whimsical designs quickly gained popularity, and thus a family tradition was born. They eventually passed the business down to their daughter Rosa, who continues the tradition with her husband, son, and daughter-in-law as they hand-blow each ornament from fiery glass heated to over 1400F, and then individually decorate each with sparkling details and festive trims.
I loved the ornament and wrapped it with care. My son and his wife opened it and started to look and the 6 month old was delighted and grabbed for it. It was hurriedly packed away but since it was Maddie's first Christmas, and Maddie is my first grandchild, I was delighted that it had so quickly grabbed her approving attention.
