In Marostica, a Veneto glassworks that has been in business for more than fifty years mouthblows each Drop Ornament from borosilicate, the resilient family of glass behind Pyrex, which is why something this delicate hangs so lightly on a branch. The shape is contemporary, the technique traditional, and the two sit together without arguing. Because every ornament is blown by hand, no two catch the light in quite the same way, and the finish you choose can anchor a whole tree or settle in quietly among older heirlooms. This is handmade Italian Christmas decor meant to come out of its box year after year, for trees, garlands, mantels and wrapped packages that deserve better than a bow.
