How It's Made: Glass Christmas Ornaments 

I was thinking the same thing! Those are probably Christopher Radko ornaments... $65 and up, each.

@@artflorez1568 The box in the film says "Krebs Lauscha". They have an online store, I have bought stuff there and it's much cheaper.

Art Florez Yeah, you’re right. We paid close to $200 each around 15 years ago for some amazing large Radko’s. And every year we continue to damage our bank account, $65 at a time.

@@mickimicki Thanks for the name of the manufacturer. I went to their website, I saw a rather fancy Nutcracker ornament and it was about $85 US. It looks like they also had some simpler ornaments that were definitely cheaper.

The ones you buy in big box stores are mass produced by machines

Me too...

Holy moly! I literally just said the exact same thing to my husband and then I saw your post. Lol. Truly incredible artistry.

All for 5 dollars at your nearest walmart

Right, isn't this amazing. I could watch this all day

That's no way to talk about small children

Yep, made in china.. symbol equality for the mass produced

My kitties break them-that is why I hang mine up high where my cats cannot reach them!

My cats will climb the tree and get to them. Asshole even falls asleep in the damn tree!

@@guardshack9606 My new kitten climbed the Christmas tree, but only before it was decorated. She doesn't climb it now that it is covered with ornaments.

GUARD SHACK cats are definitely assholes lol

Oh my gosh......this is so true!!!! ROFL!

Pupps McGee omg that wouldn’t be worth the pay

Just like a stripper.

I love glitter, of course. Glitter loves me - I never get more on me than the dusting I want. A Swiffer dust cloth picks it up from most surfaces quickly & thoroughly.

I have a friend who will no longer let me send him a Christmas card with glitter on it. Whenever I do, he's still cleaning up glitter in the month of June, or so he claims! And that's just from one card! Ha!!!

That sounds like heaven to me.

I would hope so. I remember a neighbor had some imported from germany. I found one on their tree after they threw it out. The guy gave me $3 for finding it. He said they were really old and rare.

True to life. He must be very poor. Whahaha.

Just guessing but he probably made the glass from free/cheap sand.

Danae Goliath yeah, that’s not really how glass blowing works.

Jasper Janssen Explain why not?

I think I put their kids through college!

I got married just outside of it. I met Wally Brohner just before he died and he was a wonderful man. He wrote a book if you are interested. This man spent every day helping kids and spreading Christmas cheer. I miss him so much. Merry Christmas Wally and to you all as well from Michigan. P.S I love rc hobby's myself.

No, but I'd love to go there sometime🎄🎁🎀

Was just there this past summer

I purchased a hand-blown nativity ornament there when I was 18. It is the 1st ornament to go on my tree every year. I am now 60 years old.

I remember we made one in chemistry class in high school. That was back in 1991. I still remember how fascinating it was. This video was like a trip back in time!

That does seem unlikely. Probably a delightful myth.

No, it would be true. Don't forget how much nuts and sugar used to be, even in Victorian times they were astronomically expensive and reserved for the very rich.

i can imagine someone not being able to afford candy back then, but nuts?

@@nolickspittle4753 Glass was also expensive.

I understand this story in the way that he was a craftsman and therefore had the materials already. So he improvised. Not the first time new things have been created that way.

I ate one once Can't get the taste out of my mouth

@@kittenkittycat1687 it tastes like blood and regret

@@maneoj46 nah, there's no remorse.

They look like lolipops

My uncle works at a place the makes snack cakes and that place stays over 100F year around.

@@charlieretro 🥵

They have extreme ventilation with glassblowing usually. Itbprobably feels cool

@@rock3908 I hope so. It would be hellish to have to sit in a superheated room, and working with flame.

Stop simping for the ornament lady.

Me too. How it's Made has always been one of my favorite shows.

I agree. Every ornament is a piece if art. Just incredible

I've got some ornaments that used to belong to my grandparents and I'm in my 50's.

The ones we buy at Target and Walmart are undoubtedly machine made. These are exclusive and no doubt expensive ornaments!

Not as many as your mom.....

Justin Time So what grade are you in elementary school?

@@Renville80 At least twice the grade that your mom dropped out on? :P j/k couldn't resist.

I was a scientific glassblower for many years, making instruments for scientists. Headaches are not a problem.

@@justintime970 6th grade insults aren't funny anymore. Sorry you didn't get the laugh you wanted. 🥱

which is the company, where did you see it?

@@jothriny The company shown in this video is Krebs (the name is shown on the white box toward the end). Last year, I did a ton of research looking for actual glass ornaments, which are surprisingly hard to find these days (nearly everything is the shatterproof plastic). I bought several boxes in multiple colors from Krebs and was super disappointed in the quality; lots of color issues, paint bubbling, and scratches on multiple bulbs in every box. I reached out to their customer service and after TWO additional replacements, I was able to receive enough that were in decent shape. Recent Amazon reviews of Krebs bulbs note many of the same quslity issues I experienced. While the prices are reasonable and they were willing to work with me to replace the damaged bulbs, the entire process was a huge pain. I don't think their quality control is on par with what was shown in this video; based on what I could find on IMDB, this episode appears to have first aired in 2008, so I can imagine their manufacturing processes and standards have changed to keep up with production demands and keep prices low.

baddmanaz that’s original!

🤣🤣🤣🤣

You right. They should have this on reality program not those stupid eg married first site etc.

It’s on the science channel

Dilly Doo for some reason on my tv, the science channel doesn’t exist

@@Pebbsthepebble do you have satellite?

@@Pebbsthepebble did you try spectrum and depending on where you live

some people are so ignorant

@@markylonAnd some are just rude and insulting…

Why is saying some people are ignorant "definition: Unaware or uninformed." is being rude or insulting?

@@markylon Oh please, you knew in what context you were using the word. It was meant to be an insult, which was completely unnecessary.

@@Bigtiddiegof666 I'm not sorry, I am shocked that someone doesn't know this? Like I said so much ignorance, I wouldn't be proud, why are you defending this person. People are getting dumber every day. People in America don't even know what State they're in or how to tell the time.

Such a shame the quality has gone down.

WalkerBrosFilms the ones from Wal-Mart probably made with Chinese labor😭

@@jja1483 like the device youre watching this on right now?

Essenkiller like as in probably😃😂

@@Essenkiller this device is Korean

WalkerBrosFilms that’s too funny!

I’m sure it’s not too bad.. for some reason when I’m warm I start to feel cold. Is that the same with everyone else?

It's called air conditioning.

Happy chrimas

Tori Bone ... that’s kinda the point of the show?
