Northern Cardinal Blown Glass Christmas Ornament by Old World Christmas

A bright Northern Cardinal brings a clean stroke of red to the Christmas tree. The bird is formed in blown glass, silvered from within, then hand painted and glittered to emphasize its crest, dark mask, and vivid plumage. Its horizontal shape sits naturally along a branch rather than hanging as a simple drop, making it especially effective against deep evergreen where the red reads almost like a ribbon accent.

“A cardinal is one of the easiest ways to place red on a tree without relying on another round bauble. Let him sit against the darkest greenery so the color earns its place.”
-Mrs. Mayfair
