Description

5 1/2″ diameter

Hand-blown   large 5 1/2 ” glass Christmas ornament of the only woman that has been painted twice by Gustav Klimt.  Klimt was a leader of  Austria’s secessionist movement whose work would come to define Vienna’s Art Nouveau. Adele Bauer Bloch and her husband were among Klimt major patrons and the walls of their house were decorated with nine of his paintings. Against spectacular unique background quintessential Klimt, floral on the lower part of the painting and oriental on the top the  fragile Adele in a light blue dress with wide brim black and long black scarf  hat towers up. A glorious ornament, quite different in feel to the first  golden Adele Bauer Bloch.

The daPolonia glass Christmas ornaments are designed and made in Mia’s studio in Krakow Poland. Steeped in centuries old traditions of glass ornaments making, drawing on the love of art and history, the ornament continues an old tradition of uncompromising quality and artistry.

The ornaments are fully made by Mia, and 100% hand made in the old fashion way. Starting with hand blown shapes and balls, hand silvering, coating with the base coat, and hand painting and glittering. The glitter we use is environmentally safe and is the same glitter used in cosmetics.  All the molds are proprietary created by our own mold maker. In the introduction to the ornament section you can see a video of how one of our ornament is made from scratch.
