Man of Crete Glass Christmas Ornament
This Man of Crete (aka Manolios) ornament was designed by Gregory Pappas and crafted by hand by the leading ornament craftsmen in Poland, the Christmas ornament capital of the world. Exclusive to The Pappas Market.
*As the ornament design is currently in production, only the clay model is currently available for viewing.
Our ornaments are meticulously hand-blown and hand-painted by artisans with generations of glassblowing and painting skills. Ornaments are 100% handmade, hand-blown and hand-painted and each one is unique. Made in Poland. The Man of Crete is approximately 5 inches in height.
*Please read our ordering process for Christmas ornaments CAREFULLY before placing your order! You are placing a PRE-ORDER for your ornament. We only make as many ornaments as we need for pre-orders. You will receive your ornaments according to the schedule below!
All ornaments are made of fine glass in a workshop in Poland. Each one is mouth-blown and hand painted in a traditional way that has been passed down to the artisans from generation to generation.
