Item details Quantity: 26 piece Total weight no box: 430 grams Description  Glass Christmas Decorations Soviet Ornaments USSR ---------------------------------- Soviet Christmas tree decorations are a unique cultural heritage that today holds immense historical and collectible value. Each era in Soviet history was reflected on Christmas tree branches: from ideological symbols to fairytale characters and everyday scenes. Clothespin Toys One of the most beloved and recognizable types of Soviet decorations, their popularity peaked in the 1950s and 1960s. These figurines were attached vertically to a tree branch with a metal clip. Fairytale characters (Aibolit, Cipollino, Little Red Riding Hood) were most often featured in this series, as were birds, animals, and astronauts. Classic Glass and Balls Glass decorations from the USSR were distinguished by their hand-painted design and the use of internal amalgam for a mirror-like shine. Along with traditional balls with Soviet symbols (stars, hammer and sickle), glass icicles, houses with "snowy" roofs, spotlights with recesses, and bunches of grapes were mass-produced. Thematic periods in design: - 1930s–1940s: The return of the New Year in 1935 brought toys symbolizing the achievements of the USSR (airships, airplanes, parachutists, red stars). - 1950s: The era of "fairytale" series and characters (Pushkin's Tales, "Cipollino"). The emergence of clothespins. - 1960s: The Space Age (rockets, satellites, astronauts in spacesuits) and the "agricultural" boom (the famous glass corn). - 1970s–1980s: The transition to mass factory production. Designs became simpler and more abstract, with plastic and foam toys becoming more common. ---------------------------------- The buyer will receive exactly the same item as in the photo.
