OUR 2008 COLLECTION

2008 Virgin and Child with the Young John the Baptist Ornament

The unique 2008 Madonna and Child Ornament contains the real-stamp reproduction of Italian master Sandro Botticelli's 15th century masterpiece, Virgin and Child with the Young John the Baptist. The original now hangs in the Cleveland Museum of Art. As always, each order comes individually wrapped and boxed with a red ribbon and a certificate of authenticity.

An Associated Press story relates how one collector traveled from one post office to another in three states buying all the ornaments he could find, about $13,000 worth!

 

The 2008 Nutcracker Ornaments

Each of the enchanting Contemporary Ornaments contains one of four real-stamp Nutcracker designs created by Glenn Crider, with the help of Sally Andersen-Bruce and Derry Noyes. The four Nutcracker figures are: Father Christmas, a King, a Captain and a Drummer. Each Contemporary order also comes individually wrapped and boxed with a red ribbon and a certificate of authenticity.

A Tucson, Arizona, collector spent “nearly eight hours on the phone trying to find a pair of the early edition".
