Millions of Americans have discovered something extraordinary in Christopher Radko ornaments. Their radiance and originality makes them more a work of art than an ordinary holiday decoration. It is no wonder that Christopher Radko ornaments are among the fastest growing collectables in the United States.
Each design is crafted by hand using centuries-old processes that require seven days to complete. Cottage workshops in four countries—Poland, Italy, Germany and the Czech Republic—produce the ornaments, finials and garlands that are a part of Christopher Radko’s collection. More than 3,000 craftspeople skilled in glassblowing, carving, mold making and hand-painting contribute their talents to Christopher Radko designs.
Once Christopher conceives a design, it is submitted to a carver who works from clay or plaster. The carver then gives the approved piece to a mold-maker. Using a Renaissance-era technique, a sand-cast mold is created from molten metal. This becomes the mother mold, and the ornament-making process can begin.
