Red against green is the oldest holiday pairing there is, and a northern cardinal ornament in glass makes the case better than most. The bird perches as though it chose the spot itself, bright enough to carry a whole side of the tree. Use it on a wreath, in a mantel garland, or on a classic tree where the color does the work.
Perfect for: bird watchers, remembrance gifts, hostess gifts, classic trees, tree trimming parties, and grandparent gifts.
Old World Christmas ornaments are mouth-blown into a carved mold, hand-painted, and glittered, a way of working with glass that goes back to the 1800s. Birds have long been treated as a necessity on the Christmas tree, which is why a cardinal shows up in so many collections. It hangs from a standard hook or a ribbon and stores easily between seasons.
Cluster three of them at different heights for depth, then browse our glass Christmas ornaments and our classic Christmas decor.
