Inge-Glas ornaments of Germany have been making blown-glass Christmas ornaments by hand since 1596 and are known to use molds that have been past down for generations. Pictured here is their beautiful Pine Cone ornament with gold glitter accents for $12.50. Growing on majestic firs and pine trees, cones are natural Christmas decorations. They were among the very first molded glass ornaments made. Pine cones were believed to be symbols of motherhood and fertility.
