Holiday Wine Charms Appraisal

Christmas Themed Glass Wine Charms

This appears to be a set of at least seven Christmas-themed wine charms, likely made from lampwork glass or similar small glass craftwork. Each charm is attached to a small, circular metal ring, presumably stainless steel or a base metal alloy, designed to hook onto the stem of a wine glass for identification. The charms display a variety of festive motifs in common Christmas colors of red, green, and white. Observable shapes include a red and white striped candy cane, a red gift box with a white cross (ribbon) detail, a green Christmas wreath decorated with yellow 'lights' or berries, a red and white Santa hat, and what appears to be a small Santa Claus figure. Another discernible charm is a coiled red shape, possibly a larger candy cane or abstract ornament, and a small white figure, potentially a snowman or another Santa. The glass appears to be in good condition with no visible chips, cracks, or significant wear, suggesting careful handling or recent manufacture. The craftsmanship is typical of mass-produced decorative glass items, with details created by applying different colors of molten glass. While specific manufacturing details like maker's marks are not visible, the style suggests a contemporary production, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century. These charms are designed for novelty and festive use, adding a seasonal touch to gatherings. The set is currently contained within a clear plastic re-sealable bag, which itself shows no signs of damage.
