Koi Ornament

Koi Ornament - 4 1/4" Hanging Glass Ornament - by Old World Christmas - Beautifully enhanced with sparkles.

Koi, or Nishikigoi, are the ultimate pond or garden fish. They have been carefully bred for many years, and have been called the national fish of Japan. Often referred to as Living Jewels or works of art, Koi are traditionally considered lucky and are regarded as symbols of love and friendship.

Old World Christmas figural glass ornaments are hand crafted using the same techniques that originated in the 1800's. Molten glass is mouth-blown into finely carved molds, then a hot solution of liquid silver is poured inside. They are then hand-painted and glittered in a series of steps to achieve beautiful creations.
