The popularity of decorated Christmas trees grew quickly, and with it came a market for ornaments in bright colors and reflective materials that would shimmer and glitter in the candlelight. Factories began mass producing glass ornaments. Delicate glass ornaments in the shape of balls, bells, Santas and fruits were tiny works of art. Shown in are some of the vintage ornaments in the Sutliff Museum's collection that are from the late 19th century.
