Circus Wagon Christmas Ornament from Merck Family's Old World Christmas

4" x 4"

Circus wagons were not just utilitarian vehicles used for hauling exotic animals and equipment. Decorated with bright colors and designs, circus wagons were traveling advertisements that offered the townsfolk a tantalizing glimpse of the show to be presented under the big top.

This traditional and beautiful glass Circus Wagon ornament was carefully mouth-blown into a finely crafted mold. Then a hot solution of liquid silver was poured inside. Finally, it was delicately hand-painted and glittered for you to enjoy and cherish as a holiday heirloom!
