• An Old World Christmas glass ornament

With a gentle bob, the "Puffer Fish Ornament" from Old World Christmas is a delightful representation of the ocean's most adorable balloon. This glass ornament is a shining example of how the sea's most intriguing creatures can inspire festive cheer.

The pufferfish, known for its unique defense mechanism of inflating to several times its normal size, is rendered here in glittering detail. This tiny titan of the deep is a creature that carries a hint of danger. The pufferfish's toxin is potent enough to deter predators and challenge even the most skilled chefs in Japan, where it's considered a luxurious—if risky—delight.

Yet, as it hangs from your tree at a modest 2.5 inches, this ornament is nothing but endearing. Its shimmering scales and wide, watchful eye capture the pufferfish's quirky charm without any of the risks. The glitter-speckled surface mimics the pufferfish's textured skin, bringing a touch of underwater wonder to your home.

It's a fun reminder of nature's complexities: a fish that puffs up like a balloon, carries enough toxin to cause a stir, yet becomes an innocuous, even cute decoration when translated into glass. This ornament is perfect for sea life enthusiasts, adventurers, and those who appreciate the peculiar beauty of the marine world.

Let this pufferfish puff up your holiday spirit, bringing stories of the ocean and its remarkable inhabitants to your festivities. It's a small window into a world of wonder, where even the most dangerous creatures can be transformed into sparkling spectacles of holiday joy.

Text on Old World hang tag: Although a clumsy swimmer, this fish can inflate to many times its normal size to scare away predators. In Japan, they are called ""fugu"" and are a dangerous delicacy. Specially trained & licensed chefs prepare this tasty treat, as one wrong cut can prove fatal; the fish contains enough toxin to kill 30 humans - and there's no known antidote! But not to worry - our blown-glass Pufferfish ornament is a safe & cheery reminder of coastal adventures.
