 The glass ornaments that adorn our Christmas trees today have been adopted into our culture over time, but were originally conceived in Germany. Shaped like fruits, nuts, and simple balls, the glass Christmas ornament can be traced to a man named Hans Greiner. In 1847, in a German town called Lauscha famous for its glassworks, Greiner began producing glass ornaments. These glass Christmas ornaments were called Glasschmuck in German, and Greiner first crafted them in the shapes of fruits and nuts. The ornaments were a hit, and were soon being distributed all over Europe as Lauscha and Greiner grew more famous. Today glass Christmas ornaments are manufactured in China, Mexico, and the US, but all drew their original inspiration from the German glassworker.
