Over the years collecting vintage decorations these glass clip on birds have been one of my favourite pieces. These birds are on a clip with a spring and are made to tremble while on the tree. They are silvered, hand painted and glittered, with a tail made from glass fibre strands.

Size: 9.5cm with tail plus metal clip

About these handmade glass decorations:

‘Our INGE-GLAS®MANUFAKTUR is located in Neustadt bei Coburg, directly at the crossroads between northern Bavaria and the Thuringian Forest, where the original Christmas tree glass ornaments were once born. The glassblower family Müller-Blech has been associated with the glass craft for 15 generations. Today we combine traditional craftsmanship with modern design and produce every single glass ornament according to centuries-old tradition. Since 1987 we distinguish each of our unique pieces with the so-called Sternkrönchen®: Our guarantee for a handmade quality product from Germany, hand-blown and hand-painted. Only the best materials are used by us, from crystal clear glass over genuine sterling silver to the colours. This creates handcrafted glass jewellery of the highest quality and lasting value.’
