00-SP-73 CHRISTOPHER RADKO Gift of Health Retired Ornament

00-SP-73 Gift of Health Retired Ornament by Christopher Radko. Approx 4.5”. Handcrafted in Poland. This item is new with tag but the tag is not pristine.

This cheerful figure, dressed in a deep red top hat and surrounded by brightly wrapped gifts, holds a glittering green present symbolizing the precious gift of good health.

I sold Christopher Radko Ornaments in my gift shop over 20 years ago. Since the shop closed I have had these carefully stored at my home.

According to the Christopher Radko Company, each of their designs begins as an intricate illustration created by Radko artists. Then the year-long process of sculpting, molding, and sampling begins. At the production stage, their family-owned European factories use centuries-old techniques to blow, silver, hand-lacquer and embellish each and every ornament. This process requires a full seven days to complete.
