A bag of sugar glass ornament sounds like a joke until you remember it is the honest beginning of every cookie recipe in the house. Hang it on a kitchen garland, clip it to a foodie tree, or tie it onto a tin of shortbread on the way out the door. It has the quiet charm of a pantry staple made shiny for December.
Perfect for: bakers, cookie exchange favors, kitchen themed trees, hostess gifts, ornament exchanges, and stocking stuffers.
How is it made? The glass is mouth-blown into a carved mold, hand-painted, and finished with glitter, following the tradition that began in the 1800s and that Old World Christmas continues today. It hangs from a standard ornament hook, and it arrives with a keepsake box so it stores neatly year to year.
Cluster it with other baking shapes on the kitchen side of the tree, then see more in our glass Christmas ornaments or shop hostess gifts for the cook who hosts.
