Old World Christmas Croissant Glass Ornament

The croissant as we know it today came from France, where August Zang, an Austrian officer, opened a Viennese bakery in 1839. This delicious buttery puff roll shaped in crescent form is both a symbol of French culture and tradition.

About Old World Christmas: Each figural glass ornament produced for The Merck Family's Old World Christmas is hand crafted in age-old tradition using the same techniques that originated in the 1800's. Molten glass is mouth-blown into finely carved molds available only to the Merck Family's Old World Christmas, before a hot solution of liquid silver is poured inside. The ornaments are then hand-painted and glittered in a series of labor-intensive steps to achieve the beautiful creations.
