Christopher Radko Mrs. Claus Blown Glass Christmas Ornament

This is a hand-blown glass Christmas ornament depicting Mrs. Claus, likely a vintage piece from the Christopher Radko collection. The ornament is crafted from mercury glass and features vibrant, high-gloss lacquer finishes. Mrs. Claus is depicted in a traditional red gown accented with sparkling white glitter on the collar and hemline, creating a snowy, frosted effect. In one hand, she holds a red and white candy cane, and in the other, a freshly baked lattice-topped pie with golden-brown crust detailing. Her face is delicately hand-painted with large, expressive dark eyes, rosy cheeks, and a small, smiling mouth. Her hair is rendered in a pearlescent white/silver, styled in a classic bun. A notable feature is the intricate floral poinsettia pattern painted along the bottom trim of her skirt. The ornament is topped with a gold-tone ornate metal cap and a loop for hanging, which also retains its original paper hangtag, indicating it has been well-preserved. There are no visible chips or cracks in the glass. The presence of the original tag and the multi-layered paint and glitter work suggest high-quality craftsmanship consistent with late 20th-century European glass-making traditions, particularly those associated with Poland where many Radko pieces were produced.
