A pale face and folded wings give this barn owl glass ornament the stillness of a bird caught mid-listen. Set it near a light so the glass warms from the inside, or hang it on a woodland tree with pinecones and paper birds. It works just as well on a mantel garland, a wreath, or the top of a wrapped gift for a birder.
Perfect for: birders, woodland trees, cabin decorating, teacher gifts, hostess gifts, and stocking stuffers.
Barn owls hunt at night, mate for life, and have a distinct screech, which is a lot of character for one small bird. This barn owl Christmas ornament is glass, mouth-blown into a carved mold and then hand-painted and glittered in the tradition that began in the 1800s and that Old World Christmas keeps. It arrives with a keepsake box.
Hang it beside other animal shapes for a nature-leaning branch, and browse more unique Christmas ornaments in the same spirit.
