Who knew Santa also traveled by boat? Hand-blown by highly skilled Polish glass blowers using centuries-old techniques, this Santa's Journey ornament not only makes a whimsical but a one-of-a-kind gift. No two are exactly alike. Simply astounding is the minute, painstaking detail on Santa's eyes and those of the toys. The hollow glass ornament measures approximately 4-1/2 inches in diameter (a quarter-inch stub holds the gold metal hanging loop) and 3 inches in thickness. Sure to become a collector's item, the ornament is inscribed on the keel of the boat with its position in a limited edition of 2,500.
This second-edition journeying Santa, with his sleeves rolled up as he rows the SS Lismore laden with gifts, is part of Waterford's Holiday Heirloom collectibles, a line of exceptionally well-crafted ornaments for the tree or home. An ideal gift for someone who appreciates the finest in holiday decorations, comes packaged in a handsome red striped box with an oval viewing window. The name Waterford, one of the world's most prestigious when it comes to crystal and glass, is stamped on both the red satin ribbon and the boat's keel. When stored in the sturdy gift box and protected from temperature swings, the heirloom-quality, boat-rowing Santa will maintain its luster year after year. --Ann Bieri
