German Ornaments

The 5-Point Star Crown™ is an Inge-Glas® of Germany exclusive trademark, representing:

1. Authenticity ~ Our 5-Point Star Crown™ is the symbol verifying you possess an authentic Inge-Glas® ornament, created in the tradition of generations of master glassblowers, designers and painters.  (The name Blech, translated as "sheetmetal", was added to the Müller name in 1860s to denote the family's invention of adding a wire "hook" atop ornaments for hanging them on trees.)
    
2. Genuine German Glass ~ Located in northern Bavaria, by Coburg, Neustadt, Germany is the home of Inge-Glas®, where the Müller-Blech tradition of quality glassblowing dates back to 1597.
    
3. Antique Moulds ~ Inge Glas® designs new ornaments each year, with inspiration from 6,000 antique family moulds, dating back to the 1850s.
    
4. Superior Quality and Designs ~ Only skilled artisans create Inge-Glas® ornaments.  Each piece is masterfully designed, mouth-blown and hand-painted with care.
    
5. Collectible Family Heirlooms ~ Preserving the 400-year-old history and family tradition of glass-blowing, each ornament is still mouth-blown and hand-painted in limited quantities...an heirloom to treasure for generations.
