One ornament was often made of several pieces which, when dry, were assembled by workers. Dresden ornaments were primarily made between 1880 and 1910. Many thousands were produced, but relatively few remain today due to their fragile composition, making them highly prized collectibles.Condition of this Dresden moose ornament is VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT.
