Large Cardinal Ornament
by Old World Christmas

From Old World Christmas. Birds are symbols of happiness and joy, and so they are regarded as a necessity on the Christmas Tree. Glassblowers often kept wild birds during the winter months since the sound of the gas flame in the workshop prompted the birds to sing. Then when spring arrived, the birds returned to freedom. Larger than the other cardinal ornaments, this glass Cardinal ornament has the instantly recognizable red body, black face and crested head of a real cardinal, with the added touch of real feathers for a tail.
