A Striped Holiday Ornament for Tree Decoration
This holiday motif features a round Christmas ornament adorned with wide horizontal or vertical stripes. At the top of the sphere sits a sculpted metal cap used to attach hooks or ribbon loops for hanging on pine branches. Striped glass and plastic baubles have been popular Christmas tree decorations for generations.
Crafts and History of Glass Tree Ornaments
Glass tree ornaments originated in Lauscha, Germany, during the mid-nineteenth century, where glassblowers created hollow spheres by hand. Painting bold stripes across the surface allowed artisans to produce colorful patterns quickly before hanging ornaments on holiday trees. The top metal cap, known as a crown, secures the delicate neck of the ornament.
