Quick Synopsis of History of Christmas Ornaments There are so many wonderful areas for collecting in Christmas and almost everyone remembers some favorite ornament or some treasured display that their parents or grandparents used. Some collect by theme. Santas, snowmen, nativity and angel collectors are prime examples. Others collect by era. Let me give you a quick rundown of the eras. 1890s & Earlier Use of live trees became popular in the late 18th century as Prince Albert (from Germany) brought the German custom of a decorated and candle lit tree to his wife (Queen Victoria) and family in England. The oldest ornaments date from that era. You will find scrap ornaments, old metal candleholders and glass candleholders that date to the turn of the century. 1900s This era saw the advent of the earliest glass ornaments, called kugels. These are heavy and topped with a flat metal cap with ring for hanging. Clip on candle holders were popular as were the glass holders for live flame candles. Trees were lighted once as the children were ushered in to view the tree. The candles were extinguished fairly quickly after the decorated tree was admired. 1910s We saw the advent of scrap ornaments and the use of actual items (toys and dolls) and sweets hung on the tree in paper cornucopias and boxes. 1920s The earliest electric lights were introduced in the 20s. We also saw the beginning of the figural ornament industry, mostly blown into molds or hand blown from Germany. The earliest celluloid ornaments appeared. Mold Blown Figural Bell-Germany 1930s More varieties of electric lights were introduced and the introduction of the "ribbon" glass blowing machine made mass production of glass sphere ornaments possible. Japan began mass production of all sorts of ornaments which became very popular. Ribbon blown indents-USof A 1940s These were the years of WWII. Imports from Japan and Germany abruptly stopped and the war effort led to the conservation of precious metals. Glass ornaments were no longer lined with silvering and most were marked "Made in USA". Post war led to the resumption of imports marked "occupied". Bubble lights were very popular in this era. Early WWII-Unsilvered With Tinsel Inside Mid or Late WWII-Unsilvered 1950s There was a resurgence of ornaments from Japan and lots of hard plastic (unbreakable) items produced. The "Shiny Brite" brand of glass ornaments put out some of its best decorated glass spheres. These are being reproduced today. Also, we saw the movement of the cottage glassblowing industry from Germany to Czechoslovakia and Poland. Miniature lights were introduced. Shiny Brite Stencils 1960s Who can forget the aluminum trees and revolving lights? And the plastic ornaments and many, many Japanese imports. The miniature lights just about took over the lighting of trees. 1970s A return to nature led to many handmade look ornaments being produced from an amazing variety of types and sources. Lots of fabric ornaments were produced in this era. Hallmark began it's Keepsake Ornament line in the second half of the decade. Early Hallmark-Little Trimmer Drummer 1980s The theme tree became popular and several companies came out with color coordinated lines of ornaments. Also, a resurgence of glass ornaments began. Hallmark produced a larger line each year. Radko and Old World Christmas searched out old molds and began creating new ones and led to the renewed appreciation of the old style decorations. 1990s & The Modern Era We now have Department 56, Midwest Importers, Old World Christmas, Radko, Byers Choice, Boyd's Bears, and on and on. These producers each give us a collectible line of lovely Christmas items to choose from. Hallmark Keepsake Favorite Links From Grandma's Tree Link to my website.

I started by making crafts for sale at local bazaars-I naturally gravitated to Christmas items as I love everything about Christmas. The next step was to offer a one-month only shop in my cottage in Long Beach, WA. "Christmas in July" was born. The first year I stocked the shop with gift items and my hand-made teddy bears and Christmas crafts. I "filled in" with some vintage Christmas ornaments that I found at estate sales. Surprise, surprise! The crafts sat there and the vintage ornaments sold! So I took the lesson that my customers taught me to heart and began to study the field of vintage and antique Christmas. The result is From Grandma's Tree. I have a desirable inventory at competitive prices. From Grandma's Tree is an e-commerce based venture. My website is on-line and available for your viewing pleasure. You are able to order on-line using your credit card. Here's The Cottage: This is the original cottage that housed "Christmas in July". It is now the home base of From Grandma's Tree. Christmas In July Cottage
