Glass Was Their Destiny - Glass Is Their Life
A Link Between Christmas Past and Christmas Future
Who is behind Inge's Christmas Heirlooms? The answer is both simple and complex.
In the 1500s in Germany, the glass blower family Muller worked diligently to produce mouth blown glassware of the highest quality for their countrymen and later for others all over the world to enjoy. For nearly as many years, a second family, the Eichhorns produced fine quality glassware to be cherished, as well!
Beginning in the 1860s, the glass blowing techniques of both families were specifically customized for creating Christmas ornaments. As the generations passed, each generation would take great care to share the expertise with the generation to follow.
In the 1960s, young Klaus Muller-Blech, in 14th generations descendant, and Birgit Eichhorn-Jeremias-Sohn spent countless hours in the glass workshops of their grandparents and parents in Neustadt, Germany, learning various aspects of the profession. Both grew to love this vocation and realized it was undeniably ingrained in their spirit. The two glass blowing enthusiasts continued to work in the profession of their forefathers into adulthood.
In 1992, a convention of antique Christmas ornament collectors was held in Reading, Pennsylvania. Separately Klaus and Birgit made the arrangements to attend the convention in order to search for the ornaments of their families' pasts. Through their activities there, they went home with more than the antique treasures they expected. Imagine two Germans traveled over 3,000 miles from the small town of Neustadt finally to meet each other for the first time in the United States!
The rest of the story continues in the style of history's great romances. The two fell in love and were married. The families joined forces and combined their tradition and skills at the inge-glas workshops in Germany. Together their collection includes more than 6,000 antique glass blower moulds dating from the 1860s. In addition, new designs are created each year to represent the Christmas traditions of today.
