LAUSCHA, GERMANY | EST. 1847
Christmas trees as we know them today can be traced back to one man in the town of Lauscha, Germany. In 1847, Hans Greiner fashioned the first glass tree ornaments in the shapes of fruits and nuts, creating decorations meant to last beyond a single season and take the place of precious food.
Our Thruingian ornaments are made by the same founding glass families, who have produced ornaments in their own small workshops for nearly 200 years.
