Old World Christmas Mermaid Glass Ornament

Legends of mermaids date back to ancient times. Always lovely, mermaids are human to the waist and have a fish tail below. They have beautiful voices and love to sing. Stories are told of mermaids rescuing sailors, or falling in love with a human and giving up the sea to be with the one they love.

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 moulds 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.
