• An Old World Christmas Glass Ornament

Perched and ready to liven up your holiday display, this Lilac Breasted Roller Clip-On Ornament adds the beauty of one of nature's most colorful birds to the tree.  This 8-inch glass ornament depicts the bird's vibrant plumage in a striking mix of blues, golds, and pinks, with long lilac tail feathers adding a unique flourish.

Since glassblowers used to keep songbirds in their workshops during the winter, giving them ample reference to create stunning bird ornaments.  Their upbeat songs would reverberate throughout the room. By providing a small portion of nature's splendor that endures throughout the year, this ornament continues that tradition.

The real Lilac Breasted Roller is known for its striking colors and impressive aerial displays, often seen swooping through the skies of Africa with its long tail feathers trailing behind. This ornament recreates that beauty with shimmering details that highlight its multicolored body, giving it a lifelike vibrancy. Instead of the two long, thin tail feathers found on the actual bird, this ornament features a soft lilac-colored plume, adding a feathery texture flair that sets it apart.

This gold-clipped bird effortlessly perches on wreaths, garlands, or tree branches, adding a vibrant splash of color wherever it lands.  This Lilac Breasted Roller ornament is a gorgeous way to celebrate the beauty of nature this season, whether it is given as a gift to a bird lover or added to a personal collection.

Text on Old World tag: Birds are symbols of happiness and joy, so they are regarded as a necessity on the Christmas tree. Glassblowers often kept wild birds during the winter months since the sound of the gas flame in the workshop prompted the birds to sing. Then when spring arrived, the birds returned to freedom.
