Set of six 1950s West German mercury-glass Christmas ornaments featuring a whimsical assortment of bells, lantern-style lamps and a figural Mrs. Claus ornament. The hand-painted red, green, silver and gold decoration captures the colorful mid-century European holiday style that makes vintage German glass ornaments so collectible.
Several pieces retain West Germany markings, supporting their mid-century origin. The mix of figural and architectural forms gives the set more visual variety than a group of simple round ornaments and makes them especially appealing for collectors of postwar European Christmas glass.
