Founded in 1979 in Spokane, Washington by Tim and Beth Merck, Old World Christmas was instrumental in reviving the traditional art of mouth-blown glass ornaments in the United States. The company gained widespread recognition by partnering with European artisans who utilized restored 19th Century antique molds, hand-carving, and meticulous hand-painting to craft their vintage-style holiday decor. Even after the founders sold the company in 2014, their distinctive menagerie of finely detailed figures and blown-glass creations remains one of the most recognizable and widely collected lines of nostalgic Christmas ornaments nationwide, with major distribution centers in multiple states.
