A cathedral ornament brings the shape of the town square onto the tree, spires, arches, and a good deal of sparkle. Glassblowers have long modeled ornaments on the churches of their own hometowns, which is part of why this shape feels older than it is. Hang it high, near a bulb, and let the light do the rest of the work.
Perfect for: heirloom trees, church community gifts, anniversary keepsakes, choir director thank yous, hostess gifts, and advent gifting.
This is mouth-blown glass, shaped in a carved mold, then hand-painted and glittered in the tradition Old World Christmas has followed since the 1800s. It comes with a keepsake box, hangs from a standard hook, and looks lovely set among candles on a sideboard for the season.
Group it with other traditional shapes on the tree, or browse our classic Christmas decor for pieces in the same quiet register. A pair of them looks striking flanking the top of the tree.
