Vietri Old St. Nick Ornament

At 4 inches in diameter and made of ceramic, this ornament has some substance, but it is not excessively heavy. It should hang securely on most standard-sized artificial or real tree branches without causing them to sag.

Because each piece is artisan-crafted and hand-painted, there will be slight variations in the brushstrokes and detailing. These subtle differences are a hallmark of the craftsmanship and ensure that your ornament is truly one-of-a-kind.

Ceramic is fragile, so it is best to wrap the ornament individually in acid-free tissue paper or bubble wrap. Store it in a sturdy, lidded box in a climate-controlled area, away from extreme temperature fluctuations or heavy items that could crush it.

The ornament features a smooth, glazed ceramic finish, which gives it a slight sheen. This glaze helps protect the hand-painted details and makes the colors appear more vibrant when they catch the light from your tree.

The ornament typically includes a simple hanging loop, but it does not come with a decorative ribbon or metal ornament hook. You may want to have a sturdy ornament hook or a length of ribbon on hand to display it immediately.
