In English:

It was in 2009 when we visited in Glass museum in Riihimäki at Christmas time. There were exhibited Christmas decorations which people use in their Christmas trees. We never thought so profoundly that many decorations are made from glass. Well, in glass museum they are from glass-naturally. My wife was also interested to take a look at bead decorations in Christmas trees.

In addition to that we could see some normally decorated real, not made from plastic, Christmas trees. Enjoy this exhibition thru my photos.

En español:

Fue en 2009 en tiempo de Navidad cuando visitamos en el museo de vidrio en Riihimäki. Allí exhibieron las decoraciones de Navidad con cuales la gente decora sus árboles de Navidad. Nunca pensamos así profundamente que muchas decoraciones se hacen de vidrio. Bueno, en el museo de vidrio está claro que son de cristal naturalmente. Mi esposa también estaba interesada para echar un vistazo a las decoraciones de abalorios en los árboles de Navidad.

Además de todas estas pudimos ver algunos árboles de Navidad normalmente decorados y reales , no en plástico. Disfrute de esta exposición a través de mis fotos.

En français:

Nous n’avons jamais pensé si profondément que autant de nombreuses décorations sont faites de verre. Eh bien, dans le musée de verre, elles sont naturellement faites. Ma femme a également été intéressés à jeter un oeil aux ornements de bijoux en perles dans les arbres de Noël.

En plus de cela nous avons pu voir quelques normalement décorés arbres de Noël, pas en plastique. Jouissez de cette exposition à travers mes photos.

How COOL are these!!! WOW what amazing things can be produced in glass! I love the shape of the snowflake (under the fish, above the pine-cones) that I might try and include parts of the design shape into my next experiment for a felt Christmas tree ornament. That first photo with the elephant and pink tutu brought a big smile to my face!
Our (late) elderly neighbour gifted us with some beautiful and OLD Christmas decorations and yes quite a few of them are glass, I love them to bits and will treasure them always not only because they are so different from the mass produced decorations of today but also because I can think of her extra fondly each time I look at them.
I do embroidery and stitch one ornament per year for my two children, by the time they leave home, they will each have what is hopefully a very special “starter pack” of heirloom ornaments to hang on their very first tree of their own. Wishing you a VERY Happy Christmas and much joy with those you love!

Wow! The decorations are really pretty! Love the angel with a music sheet. It looks so tender. And the dog sleeping in the ball is so cute.
The post fits in today 🙂
Have wonderful Holidays! Best wished to you and your family.

  I think that it is really interesting to see different Christmas trees. Although these trees are in a museum, ours is very different from these with it decorations. There must be millions of variations in the world to decorate Christmas trees. Thank You.

Merry Christmas to you and your family! Those glass decorations are truly beautiful. It would be wonderful to see them and spend enough time to learn their history! I’m sure there are some great stories there!

I would love to visit this museum at Christmas time. So many pretty ornaments. I think I like the pine cone ornaments in picture 19 the best.

Hello, Matti! Thanks for sharing these lovely pictures. The glass decors are so fragile and beautiful! I hope you and your family had a really warm and joyful Christmas!

Comment by Maria Elena — December 26, 2010 @ 08:51 | Reply
- Hello Maria.
  
  You are so right when saying that glass decors are fragile. I remember when in my childhood some of them were broken when I was not enough careful, but I run to and fro too near our Christmas tree and then some fell down onto the floor. My parents were not so happy at all when they broke. 🙂 Thank You for Your visit and nice comment.
  
  I wish to You and Your family Merry Christmas.

A glass museum – what a treat! I especially like the cupcake ornaments. This was a very festive post.

Good evening Matti,
Each piece has its own way, very interesting and beautiful. The elephant in the first picture, looks very original. In particular, the angels, I like very much. The star sparkles and shines in Figure 18, that it is a pleasure to look at him. A smoking man, as in Figure 36, should not miss Christmas. I own my Smoker for 32 years. There is a blacksmith with an anvil. The pine cones look very noble and can not miss the Christmas tree too. The white moose decorations for Christmas trees and interesting. In Cologne, near the cathedral, is a business, with a similar Christmas tree ornaments, as I admired it in your images. Everything is made of glass and beautiful. I thank you for allowing me to watch this series and look forward to the next. We wish you and Anja, all the best and health on your common everyday ways, and for the new year 2011. Thank you for all your kind comments in recent days. E-mail follows, this week. Dear greetings Christel and Detlev

Hello Christel.

Thank You. The smoking man in 36 is something that I have not seen here, not in my home or in my friends. So interesting to read that You knew it. I guess that You know the last ball, because it is from Lauscha which is birthplace of the glass Christmas tree decorations. Lauscha is in Thuringian Forest.

Have a wonderful day.

Quel art magnifique ! Je connaissais les objets en verre de Finlande, très appréciés mais pas toutes ces décorations de Noël. J’aime beaucoup les étoiles, toutes différentes et si jolies. Aussi, la sculpture en bois de l’artisan qui créée une boule de Noël 🙂 Très original. Merci pour cette belle exposition et meilleurs voeux pour une Bonne et Heureuse Nouvelle Année !

  Quelle joie de lire que tu as aimée mon post de Noël. Le musée du verre est tout à fait à proximité de ma maison et que je vais visiter là-bas peut-être une fois par an.
  
  Bonne Nouvelle Année à toi et aux tiens!

Hello! I’m back again.
I hope you had a great Christmas.
Mine was fantastic.
I went to the Cotswolds, it’s so magical because everything was covered in snow.

I too was interested to read about the smoking man. It seems to be a German tradition. That’s another thing I’ve learnt from your post. The decorations are all works of art. The fir cones in number 19 look as if they have just been painted, what detail. I think the children would love the cup cakes and the figures. A lovely set of Christmas photos.

Wonderfull photos!!this is very interesting glass museum and the decorations are fantastic. In Italy we have the glass museum of Murano, island near Venice,(http://www.venetian-glass.info/demonstration.php) but I think Christmas decorations are not created and exposed.

I like these real glass Christmas baubles. But plastic are cheaper and cannot be broken that easily. However, these are stunning!
