A diminutive hand-blown glass figure of a young girl, suspended beneath a fabric parachute canopy. At approximately 2 inches tall, the figure reflects classic mid-century European glass ornament proportions and finish, with soft silvering and hand-painted facial details. Her still posture and contemplative expression suggest quiet anticipation rather than motion — a moment associated with Christmas Eve rather than celebration itself.
This ornament is sold individually and is part of a coordinated group of five parachuting figures from the same period. When displayed together, the group presents a cohesive mid-century holiday vignette unified by scale, materials, and suspension style.
Materials
Hand-blown and hand-painted glass, with gold interior, vintage wrapping paper parachute canopy, ribbon suspension, metal cap, tinsel, metalic trims.
