RARE VINTAGE CHRISTMAS HAND MADE ITALY BLOWN GLASS GOLD ANGEL XMAS TREE TOPPER

The blown glass ornaments and tree toppers from Italy are some of the most charming and highly prized vintage Christmas pieces, because of their whimsical charm and beauty. This one is a really stunning angel. She is hand made blown glass with annealed arms (added separately), and a beautiful hand painted face. She has silver glitter accents, and foil over cardboard wings and halo. She is just so adorable, with the most precious hands!

The topper is gold mercury glass, with no breaks. The angel's face has some slight color variation in the peach skin tone.

There is some mercury loss to the bottom piece that attaches to the tree. The ornament has exceptional aged patina. The flaws, which are very few, are very minor, and don't at all detract from this beautiful vintage Christmas tree topper. It measures about 10.5 tall, and isn't marked. A word of caution, with this or any fine mercury glass - Always store it wrapped in acid free tissue paper available at craft stores. This is the only means I know of for not damaging the delicate glass and colors. If you want to use bubble wrap, make sure you don't let it touch the piece - just the tissue paper wrapping.
