Glass Pickle Ornament Set

Who Will Get the Extra Gift? According to the Legend of the Pickle, the first child on Christmas Eve to find a pickle ornament hidden in the holiday tree will get an extra gift. Share this tradition or enhance your own with this heirloom Glass Pickle Ornament Set. Mouthblown in Germany by Inge-Glas®, a family of glassblowers since 1596. Natural wood-shave keepsake box. Legend included.  1.75" to 4"l. Set of 3, one each size (the largest pickle for the smallest child!)
