In medieval Europe, strawberries were served at festivals and important state occasions to ensure peace and prosperity. They were carved into church pillars to symbolize perfection and righteousness. In provincial France, strawberries were once considered an aphrodisiac, so newlyweds were traditionally served a strawberry soup.
Measures: 3 X 2.25 X 2.25
The details: Each ornament is made the old fashion way using molten glass mouth-blown into carved molds. Then, a hot solution of liquid silver is poured inside the mold. Next, they are each hand painted.
