Jemima Puddle-Duck Ornament

Jemima Puddle-Duck has charmed nursery bookshelves for generations, and she translates beautifully into a glass ornament. She makes a lovely start to a child's collection, or a gift for anyone who still keeps their childhood storybooks on a shelf. Hang her low enough for small hands to admire, or tie her onto a nursery garland where she can be seen from the crib.

Perfect for: baby's first Christmas, christening gifts, nursery decorating, grandchild gifts, storybook trees, and baby showers.

Old World Christmas glass ornaments are mouth-blown into a carved mold, then hand-painted and glittered, in a tradition that began in the 1800s. This one arrives in a keepsake box, which matters for a piece meant to be handed down. It hangs from a standard hook on a branch, a ribbon, or the handle of a basket of picture books.

Hang her with the other storybook pieces for a nursery tree, then browse more glass Christmas ornaments.
