Christopher Radko 'Giddy Up' Cowboy on Horse Glass Ornament

This is a vintage hand-blown glass Christmas ornament created by Christopher Radko, specifically the 'Giddy Up' design from 1997. The piece depicts a blonde cowboy in a blue and white checkered shirt, black pants, and a yellow hat, riding a rearing white stallion. The horse features a pearlescent white finish with fine silver glitter accents on its chest and hindquarters to simulate texture. The cowboy's attire is richly detailed with high-gloss lacquer paints, including a red saddle and gold-tone bridle. At the top, the ornament retains its original golden fluted cap and wire loop, along with a 'Christopher Radko' star-logo hangtag dated 1997. The craftsmanship displays the typical high-quality European mouth-blown glass technique associated with the Radko brand in the late 1990s. The condition appears excellent with vibrant colors and no visible cracks or significant paint loss. The item is approximately 5 to 6 inches in height, showcasing the bold, whimsical style that made Radko ornaments highly collectible during this period.
