Milwaukee Wisconsin glass Christmas ornament
A glorious round hand blown glass Christmas ornament with Milwaukee’s hallmark building, the Santiago Caltarava’s winged Milwaukee Art Museum. The ornament is solid royal blue color and the museum building is rendered in shimmering white glitter for a wonderful effect. The Quadracci pavilion that was created by the Spanish architect Santiago Caltarava with the long wings that spread out like rays of sun. They get opened in the morning and folded in, at night. The building came to symbolize the city and is one of its most recognizable hallmark. The design received the 2004 prize for the outstanding structure award from the International association of bridges and structural engineering, and is world renown and is featured as a symbol of the city of Milwaukee.
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.
