Antique German Mushrooms Glass Clip Ornament, Glass and Cotton Clip On Double Christmas Ornament
Hard to find antique German double clip Christmas ornament, two lucky spotted mushrooms, one mercury glass and one spun cotton. Fabulous!
This wonderful antique figural glass ornament features fine German craftsmanship. The larger mushroom cap is blown glass, hand painted bright red with the white spots of the classic German mushroom, “Amanita muscaria”. This mushroom in Germany and most of Europe is considered a good luck charm, or “Glücksbringer”, (Good Luck bringer.) The second smaller mushroom is made of spun cotton, painted in the same manner.
They are attached to a metal clip and are framed with multiple rings of tucksheer greenery which mimics grass. It measures 1.5 inches tall and is in very good antique condition free of chips or cracks. The smaller mushroom has an area of missing paint. The original metal clip shows oxidation but works beautifully.
What an amazing and striking antique German double mushroom Christmas ornament. A must have for any antique German or figural ornament collection.
