Of all the videos dealing with identifying the age of Christmas ornaments, I found yours the most infomative and easy to follow. You ladies play off of each other beautifully; each contributing a new bit of information in a relaxed manner, and waiting until the other has finished before speaking. Of concern, though, is the fiance business: Take the plunge: you're meant for each other.....Cheers and best wishes, The Hamster.

Awesome info! Thank you and yes please make more video's like this! I also like to look at the bottom of a piece to see if it has wear or dirt build up if there's no mark. A modern piece is always a lot cleaner on the bottom. And about the crazing, if it's intentionally created on a modern piece it's often a very regular pattern all over the piece while real crazing on vintage pieces is irregular and sometimes only in certain spots.

I've been collecting vintage Xmas for over 50 years and have found one of the main indicators of repop ceramics is weight. In most cases cheap, made in China reproductions, are made of lightweight ceramic that chip and crack easily. After you handle the old stuff for a while, the new is pretty easy to pick out.

At around 5.56 you mention ornaments from West Germany. I want to mention that Lauscha, Seiffen, all traditional christmas ornament making towns are located in the Erz Mountains, in East Germany! (DDR at the time). I don't have any information if the DDR itself exported ornaments, or if the Genossenschaft sold products to West Germany who then exported.

Concerning glitter: there is old vintage glitter. It's ground glass. I'm not sure what it's dyed with, could be silver, lead, other materials (very early Lauscha Kugeln were dyed with lead, around ca 1860-1900 ). On old (german) ornaments and Glanzbilder/scraps you can see the glitter turning black/green. That's imo the silver dyed ground glass oxidizing.

just because there's a year molded into the back of the molds, that doesn't necessarily mean they're from that date. The dates on the back were when the cast iron molds themselves were made, not the plastic figures. Especially with General Foam making several molds branded 19** well into the late 2010's. Up until their closure in 2017. GF Bought several company's molds over the years, and continued to make them. Ive got a "Vintage" Empire nativity set made in the late 90's by general foam. Even though they're all branded Empire.

Loved it. I learned alot. Mercury glass is actually made with mercury. The process of making was toxic to the workers and was banned. So mercury glass is no longer made. It looks different and is almost like silver. People used to refer to it as poor man's silver. The final product is not toxic but the method of manufacturing was dangerous. There are people who collect just mercury glass including ornaments but not just holiday items.

Greetings from The Netherlands, girls! I gotta ask because, after watching your videos and also videos by other thrifters, a few things still completely baffle me. First, I see you guys thrift the most wonderful and colourful christmas ornaments. And most of those are made in Germany and Poland. Now, that's really close to The Netherlands. But I have never seen ornaments from those countries here in any thrift store. And I go to many thrift stores and often too. Never see them here. And the thing I've been baffled about the most is that people in the USA bought so mutch stuff from Japan right after WW2. Because I'm pretty sure nobody in The Netherlands would have bought ANYTHING made in Japan in the 1950's! There was a lot of anger here about the Japanese occupation of the Dutch easy Indies and the treatment of the people there during the war. Sadly, it's hard to find nice things from the fifties here anyway, because until the mid fifties things were still rationed here. Only from the sixties and later you can find nice vintage things here. So I love the beautiful vintage christmas things you girls have! And there's so much christmas stuff in your thrift stores! Here in The Netherlands we are also not allowed to hold yard sales of garage sales. No astate sales either. So I love to watch your videos and those by other thrifters. Have a wonderful christmas and keep the vids coming! 🤗

Hi there! Thanks so much for watching! I (Laura) LOVE the history aspect of vintage Christmas but didn’t want to give a history lesson and make the video too boring for some 😂 So you’re right! Ornaments were produced in Europe and Japan PRIOR to WWII but once the war started, imports ceased, including ornaments. That’s when Shiny Brite and US made ornaments came into play. During WW2, Christmas decor was made domestically in the states, since there was a trade ban with Germany and Japan. Once the war did end, importing from Germany and Japan began again, which is when most of these non-USA ornaments are from (post WWII-1960s). It is interesting that the US people were quick to buy from Japan so quickly! In the immediate years after the war, the US occupied Japan to help rebuild its government and economy, so on pieces from the late 40s, they are marked ‘made in occupied Japan’ Maybe this helped people to acclimate back into buying imported goods? But even then, there was a strong movement towards USA produced ornaments, and shiny brite was still very popular here in the states. Thank you so much for watching and following along! We’re so glad you enjoyed ❤️

I still have all of my family‘s ornaments from the 50s 60s and 70s that our family grew up with. Ir makes me sad to see people collecting just for resale and not to display on their own and enjoy. It seems a lot of these were well taken care of because they are from older people who treasured them, and to see them go for such large amounts of money just monetizing the sentimentality makes me kind of sad although I am glad people are still appreciating them for the moment they are sold to someone, at least the collector will display them and enjoy them on their tree and at Christmas time. The prices make it impossible for people who grew up in that era to be able to enjoy them on their trees again
