Antique German Stork Unsilvered Clip On Glass Christmas Ornament 1900s, Unsilvered Ornaments

Fabulous antique mouth blown German clip on stork bird Christmas ornament, in fabulous condition, circa early 1900s. In Germany and other parts of Europe, to have a stork nest in your barn or rooftop is considered good luck!

Unsilvered white bird ornaments were only made for a short period of time and are hard to find. It is simply wonderful, with a white matte body and an open orange-red beak. This open mouth version is also harder to find.  The bird is highly sculptural with deeply molded feather and wing details which are painted black. The white tail feathers are spun glass. Hand painted black dot eyes finish off this wonderful antique clip on bird ornament.

It measures 4 inches tall including the clip. The blown glass body is 2.5 inches. It is attached to a replaced waffle clip which is marked West Germany, but this is definitely an early 1900s ornament. It is in very good antique condition free of chips, cracks, or paint loss. There is some old original glue residue on the tail end.

What an amazing and very scarce antique German clip on stork Christmas ornament. A must have for any antique German or figural Christmas ornament collection. A thoughtful gift for the bird lover!

We have a nice collection of vintage bird ornaments.

And, a high quality collection of pre-1946 antique German glass ornaments.
