How to arrange the spun glass tails.
Most of our bird Christmas glass ornaments have tails of spun glass that are shipped with the tails bunched together. If you would like to have the tail fan out, hold your bird Christmas decoration at the base of the tail. Then flick the end of the spun glass tail with your finger until it looks how you would like it. Select this link to view our German Glass Ornaments.
Care of your Inge Glass Ornaments
Please wrap your ornaments individually in acid free tissue paper to preserve your heirloom quality ornaments for years to come.
Avoid using any plastic bubble wrap or storing your ornaments in plastic storage containers as it does not allow for proper ventilation.
For safe keeping, use a sturdy cardboard box with a strong cover.
Be careful not to put too many ornaments on top of each other. It’s best to use an ornament storage box that has layered compartments. Select this link to view our Ornament Storage Boxes.
Carefully store your Inge Glas ornament collection in a safe, dry place away from extreme temperatures, water, sun or fluorescent light and other outside elements. Select this link to view our Glass Christmas Ornaments.
Weihnachtsmuseum
On the 3rd of October 2001 the Historic German Christmas Museum opened its doors to visitors of all ages who enjoy learning about Old World European Christmases and the transition of Christmas celebrations to present day.
Impressive displays of rare and valuable items are featured for all to explore. The Muller Blech family has contributed the majority of the historic items which are shown form their personal family collection. As Christmas is not celebrated in the same ways from region to region in Germany, neither is it celebrated in the same way across the world. Here, the physical symbols of Christmas and their relation to how the holiday is celebrated in Germany and elsewhere can be discovered.
Perhaps the major focus of the museum is the tradition of the Christmas tree and its beginning. Christmas trees could not exist without the Christmas tree stands. We point out the historic evolution of the stands with many functions, musical stands, the Garden of Eden variety of stands and much, much more.
Of course, on display are a wide variety of Christmas tree decorations from the middle of the 19th century. We present ornaments of glass, cotton, wool, luxury paper or Dresdens, glimmered cardboards and other materials, all of which were often combined with leonic wires. Having worked in the blown glass trade for fourteen generations, the largest part of the Muller Blech collection is of glass Christmas tree decorations.
The museum even includes the very human story of working and living conditions of Thuringian glass blowers and the distribution of goods from the 19th century to World War II. In addition, many other interesting presentations on the development of Christmas are waiting for our visitors. Select this link to view our Unique Christmas Ornaments.
