Each ornament has been / individually hand-blown and meticulously painted by / hand. / The Hallmark Crown Reflections Collection...celebrating / a time-honored art form that becomes even more precious / as our world looks forward to the dawning of a new / century. / Designed by Sue Tague / For decorative use only.
