The Polish tradition of glass
blowing dates back as far as the 10th Century with full-scale industrial
production beginning by 1310. By the 16th century there were as many as
thirty working glasshouses in Poland, and the industry grew steadily reaching
its peak in the 1700’s. Historical events such as the partition of
Poland by the Austrians, Russians and Prussians later that century resulted
in the industry’s collapse. This art form remained dormant in Poland
until the 19th century when again glass ornaments began to be produced on
a commercial scale. |

The tradition of
decorating Christmas trees dates back to 19th century Germany and Sweden.
In the 20th century Polish artists joined others in creating blown glass
Christmas tree ornaments. The Maselko family joined in this tradition in
the early 80ís. At that time in Zabkowice Slaskie, a small town in the Silesian
region of Poland, we founded a factory, which employed the disabled and
produced Christmas ornaments using the traditional 19th century methods.
Since our inception two decades ago, the Maselko factory has been employing
artisans, who bring their great artistic talents to the enterprise of
creating unique hand made ornaments. Each piece has its own unique characteristics
and no two pieces are exactly alike. Today our ornaments combine 19th
century traditional techniques with modern innovations and designs, and
are created to be a collectorís item. We invite you to begin your own
tradition of collecting and giving these extraordinary contemporary renditions
of the ancient tradition of Polish glass blowing.
