Each Day of the Dead Mini Butterfly is hand made in the tradition of the Day of the Dead pieces made by traditional Mexican artisans. And, it carries the significance of the butterfly - the metamorphosis from cocoon to beautiful butterfly!

Each measures about 42inches from top to bottom and just about 2 inches wide and has a self hanging hook on the back. Just like the rest of our Day of the Dead Figurines, each of these mariposas is hand made and decorated by traditional artisans in Mexico, so each will be unique. Please let us choose one for you.

Old-fashioned spun cotton mushrooms have graced Christmas trees, corsages and other items for decades. These lovely vintage amanita mushrooms were created of spun cotton back in the mid-20th century and are in wonderful condition. These old store stock beauties measure about 3/4 inch from the bottom of the stem to the top of the cap.

The brown caps are hand stained to look real. They are are highly lacquered and are dotted with little white spots - just like the real mushrooms! The stems are wire wrapped in green paper.

These pretty mushrooms might really be toadstools, not to be eaten in the wild - and, our spun cotton version should not be eaten either! It is rumored that Santa's reindeer pranced around in a flying frenzy after eating these little beauties, allowing them to help Santa travel throughout the world and deliver presents.

Amanita mushrooms are considered good luck in many cultures, especially in Germany. You'll often see them pictured with gnomes, elves and fairies in children's literature.

These fantastic lametta hails from US Zone Germany from the 1940s or 1950s. The packages are intact, but show their age. The icicles themselves are in fine condition and can be used for your holiday décor, or of cores in your artwork.

The folded paper package is labeled:

Made in US Zone - Germany

After World War II, Germany was divided into Four Zones. The Soviet Zone later became East Germany. And the three other zones (US, British and French) combined to become West Germany. Immediately after the war, however, the zones were managed, or occupied by the different nations. During this time, German manufacturers were banned from exporting goods to the United States and some other countries.

American authorities permitted the sale of toys and holiday decorations, as long as they were marked:

Made in US Zone - Germany

'The controlled districts and the manufacturers within were regulated during 1946 and 1947. Even though the regulation was lifted in 1947, the same tooling for the manufacture was used, so some items produced in the early 1950s may bear the same markings.

US Zone items are not as well known as those made in Occupied Japan, but they are of the same ilk and are highly treasured when found.

Two packages shown for illustration only.

Chenille pipe cleaners have been used for crafting for ages! We were lucky to find these vintage Santa Claus Package Tie-Ons - Each with a little cap and coat made of velvety paper and accented with chenille pipe cleaners - even for his beard! The little lack belt is made of shiny paper as well.

Use him to decorate your old fashioned holiday tree, or add him to a friend's holiday package. From tip of cap to bottom of coat, he measures about 2-1/2 inches The tie-one chenille stem adds additional length, and, because it originates under his coat, it can be twisted so he can stand up on your tree or package.

These are vintage items and have been used, so they show some fading and wear, but how much more special that makes them!

Two Santas shown for illustration only.

Our rare tinsel stars are from Germany and were made around Nuremburg before World War II. Each star is made of tinsel that is just a bit crinkled for fullness. This crinkle also creates the most beautiful shimmer when holiday lights reflect. These are old store stock and are in superb condition.

Each 6 cm ornament is packaged in a protective plastic box and may need a little fluffing for fullness. Or, you might want to flatten one and add a vintage die cut scrap for a special ornament. There is a self hanger for your convenience.

More Dresdens & Scraps

This wonderful heavy-weight black Dresden base is just what you need to create old-fashioned paper ornaments for Hallowe'en, a Black-and-White Masquerade Ball or any other occasion. Add a little scrap picture with a dab of glue to the center (or even a Victorian-style sticker), maybe a few pieces of angel hair or krausbouillion and you'll create a brand new heirloom!

The base of the ornament measures about 3-1/4 inches in diameter (from one point to the opposite). The loop on top is for hanging and adds about 1/4 inch more. This striking Dresden is black on both sides and is weighty enough to be the base for a complex design.

The embossing on these reliefs is superb. These are made in the same fashion as they have been for many, many decades! Some trimming is necessary, just as it was for the originals.

VINTAGE Spun Glass Skirt

Close-Up

 

Authentic Vintage Authentic German Spun Glass Skirt

We at SilverCrow were lucky to find a source in German for real, vintage spun glass components so that you can create Victorian style ornaments for Christmas, Valentine's Day, or just because you want to make them!

These pieces were made by hand in a factory in Lauscha, Germany well before World War II. They are certainly elegantly crafted by highly-skilled artisans who were undoubtedly proud to work.

Spun Glass is a form of fiberglass, so it can be irritating and is not recommended for children. And, even though these are in excellent shape, because of the age of the pieces, we suggest you be quite careful when using them for crafting.

These skirts are traditionally in all kinds of ornaments. This can be a skirt, a tail, a half-halo, or, whatever you can imagine. It measures just a touch under 1 inch long.
