OWC Pelican Ornament
Each figurative glass ornament produced by Old World Christmas is hand crafted in age-old tradition using the same techniques that originated in the 1800's.
The Pelican is a symbol of Jesus per an ancient legend. During a famine, the Pelican cared so dearly for her young that she chose to give them her own blood to prevent starvation, but in turn lost her own life. The Pelican is a symbol of self-sacrifice and is used in heraldry.

Each figurative glass ornament produced by Old World Christmas is hand crafted in age-old tradition using the same techniques that originated in the 1800's. Molten glass is mouth-blown into finely carved molds made exclusively for Old World Christmas, before a hot solution of liquid silver is poured inside. The ornaments are then hand-painted and glittered in a series of labor-intensive steps to achieve the beautiful creations.
