OLD WORLD CHRISTMAS PACIFIC HALIBUT NAUTICAL GLASS CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT 12584

Old World Christmas Creations

Each figural glass ornament produced by Old World Christmas is hand crafted in age-old tradition using the same techniques that originated in the 1800's. Molten glass is mouth-blown into finely carved molds made exclusively for Old World Christmas, before a hot solution of liquid silver is poured inside. The ornaments are then hand-painted and glittered in a series of labor-intensive steps to achieve the beautiful creations.

Found along the continental shelf of the North Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea, Pacific Halibut are large bottom-dwelling flat fish. Their name comes from haly (holy) and butt (flat fish) because they are commonly eaten during Catholic holy-days. Their diamond-shaped body is typically three times longer than it is wide. What a catch!
