Santa with Child. Merck Family's Old World Christmas glass collectible ornament.

The legend of Santa is derived from the European figure of St. nicholas and American writers who wrote children's poems in the 19th century. Santa Claus became the jolly man clad in red - the folk hero all children dream about on Christmas Eve. Santa Claus embodies childhood innocence and magical delight.

This traditional and beautiful glass ornament was carefully mouth-blown into a finely crafted mold. Then a hot solution of liquid silver was poured inside. Finally, it was delicately hand-painted and glittered for you to enjoy and cherish as a holiday heirloom!

Santa Claus with Child is a delightful ornament. Brightly colored and exquisitely detailed. Santa is sitting on a bench with a little boy on his lap. A teddy bear is at his feet. This is a large ornament, approximately 6 1/2" in ht.
