VERY RARE GLASS APPLE WITH FACE ANTIQUE CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT. A WONDERFUL OLD, UNIQUE AND RARE ANTIQUE CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT OF AN APPLE WITH A FACE. IT IS GUARANTEED TO BE AN OLD PRODUCTION AND ORIGINAL. IT IS A ROUND SHAPE WITH LEAVES SHOWING AT BOTH SIDES OF THE TOP. IT HAS LOTS OF DETAIL IN THE FACE. IT HAS WRINKLES AROUND THE EYES, A PROTRUDING NOSE AND CHEEKS. HE ALSO HAS A GREAT SMILE. THE BOTTOM IS CREASED AND DIMPLED. THE BASE COLOR WAS ORIGINALLY A FROSTED CREAM COLOR, BUT SOME OF THE FROSTING HAS WORN AWAY AND MAY CONTINUE. THE NEW OWNER PROBABLY SPRAY IT WITH AN ARTIST FIXATIVE. THERE IS A BIT OF DARKENING OF THE SILVERING AT THE LEAD METAL CAP.

Please keep in mind that vintage/antique items are OLD 50 to 100 years old. Thus, they will probably NOT be perfect. They may have paint loss, glitter loss, mica loss, dents, bumps, scratches. They have usually all been used in the past and thus have the patina of age and use. As with all my auctions there are lots of pictures for judging coloring and condition – don t forget to supersize them for your best view. Almost all my items are older and used and come from estate sales, and unless described as perfect, may have to be cleaned; polished, etc. To look their best. Because they are items from bygone days, I cannot guarantee that they are from a smoke free or pet free environment. Every effort has been made to describe the item as accurately as possible. I do not end auctions early, please don’t ask. It is unfair to others that are also looking at that item. Professionally packaged – if anything, I over package. To get more items for my buyers.
