Glass blown train ornaments

A first type of Christmas tree train ornaments that you will find in stores are made out of hand-blown glass. Most of these decorations are also hand painted, though. This makes them real pieces of artwork and valuable gifts for the train amateurs on your shopping list.

These mouth-blown glass train ornaments come also with a retro look. This design is a delight for everybody’s eyes. And as you can see even the most modern of these engines is a vintage one. Here are some of these cute Christmas trains that you can hang on your tree branches. The range of such ornaments vary from Radko collectibles to Old World ornaments, from Coca-Cola to Marquis by Waterford the well known crystal manufacturer.

Such a type of tree decorating items are a bit harder to find. Because they are rare, they make the perfect gift for a train and crystal collector. Because of the low number of such decorations, I suggest to hurry to buy them, they quickly run out of stock. Above is the 2016 annual crystal train ornaments made by Maquis by Waterford. As you can see it’s a gorgeous ornament that can become a terrific collectible.

Train ornaments made of other materials

Materials different from glass are used to create beautifully crafted trains that you can hang on the tree. From simple to more intricate designs, those embellishments can be found in materials such as:

Porcelain – some are part of the annual ornaments from big manufactures and are different from year to year. They make great collectibles and thus gifts for amateurs.
Ceramic bisque – that you can decorate yourself or buy pre-decorated.
Plastic – which are intricate and colorful.
Resin – here as well they are generally intricately crafted and come in bright colors.
Pewter – very classy and stylish ornaments, delicately intricate.
Tin – these come often with a retro/vintage look.
Silver (plated or not) – absolutely classy ornaments that will also work wonders as gifts to commemorate a birth or for collectors.
Wood – painted or kept natural, such decorating items are often conceived with kids in mind and look like real toys. They provide the tree with a very cute appearance.
