Ornaments crafted by our European artisans
Clay models, carved after
the initial sketched design,
are the basis of the glass shapes.
Huras ornaments are individually mouth-blown using traditional glass-blowing methods from
the 1800s.
Design....
Silvering
The delicate glass shapes are covered with the silvering solution to give the ornaments a mirror-like shine and brightness to the paints that follow.
Painting
The ornaments are carefully handpainted in gorgeous colors and fanciful patterns, with special finishes and effects added one by one.
Glass Blowing
Trained craftsmen blow heated glass into molds to create our shapes. The more elaborate shapes can be very difficult to make. Even an expert can make only a few each day.
Clay Molds
Every Miss Christmas ornament starts out as a clay model, carved after the initial design sketch. Clay molds are the basis for creating glass shapes.
