Know before you buy
Every authentic Inge-Glas ornament features the brand's exclusive 5-point star crown at the top. This signature detail serves as a mark of their traditional German glassblowing heritage.
The ornament is crafted with lead-free paints, making it safer than traditional vintage ornaments. However, because it is made of hand-blown glass, it is fragile and should be handled with care and kept out of reach of small children and pets.
The snowman stands at 4.2 inches tall. Its size makes it a versatile piece that fits well on most standard-sized Christmas trees without being overly heavy.
No, this ornament is designed exclusively for indoor use. Exposure to outdoor elements like moisture and temperature fluctuations can damage the hand-painted finish and the delicate glass structure.
No, this ornament is not lighted. It is designed to reflect the ambient light of your Christmas tree lights, which highlights the hand-painted details and the clarity of the glass.
