Collectibles Pewter Art Christmas Pewter

Hand-cast and hand-painted Christmas pewter ornaments from the workshop of Wilhelm Schweizer in Diessen, Germany, whose family has kept the tradition alive since 1796. The designs are based on the originals, many of which are hundreds of years old, and are hand-painted on both sides so that they can face either way. Because each piece is hand-painted by individual artists, colors may vary slightly from the image shown. Ornaments measure approximately 2.25"h.
