The dawning of the second decade of Christopher Radko design
what a marvelous achievement. Everyone loved the expanded collection presented
during nay 10th Anniversary, and I those designs were fine indeed, but as
they say in show business, 'you ain't seen nothing yet!"
The 1996 collection introduces over 350 new ornaments and many recolorations
to delight your fancy. From our Italian craftsmen, we have dozens of new
selections, many with fancy show girls. Santas, and space themes. Glass
garlands abound in new shapes including seahorses, racing cars, peppermint
candy hearts, panda bears, drums, sail boats, snowmen, and double sided
Santas. My German craftsmen continue to turn out some of the most exquisite
angels and frosted fruits ever made, and their attention to the tiniest
details has never been better. For example, there is actually a "seed
lady" who hand paints every single seed on the strawbernes! The Polish
workshop has produced a treasure trove of gems including Snowtem Pole. Return
Engagement. and Winter Dream. Also, by popular request, I've created over
50 new balloon, teardrop, and finely painted ball designs.
New series include the limited edition Russian Rhapsody a
tribute to age old Russian fables and the operas and children's stories
that immortalized them. Sunday Brunch is my new two year limited edition
series featuring, from Grimm's Fairy Tales, our old favorites Hansel &
Gretel, a "sweet" witch, and a luscious gingerbread house My new
AIDS awareness and Pediatric cancer ornaments, A Winter Bear's Heart and
Bearly Awake, are sure to open hearts and with your support, raise money
for these important causes. Don't miss our intricately hand painted portrait
of Esquire Santa or our stunning Starlight 1996 MembersOnly ornament Christmas

Last year, when Warner Bros. and Walt Disney considered entering the exciting
world of fine glass ornaments, their thoughts naturally alrned to America's
premier source Christopher Radko. Later this year, you can look forward
to a broad selection of Warner Bros. and Walt Disney ornaments that will
be produced to their exacting specifications. Many of these special designs
will be limited editions, so be on the look out!
Many of you who enjoyed my appearance on CBS's Sunday Morning", with
Charles Osgood, as well as my two appearances on NBC's "Today Show"
now know that Christopher Radko stands for fine decoration all through your
holiday house. This means that shortly, you can look forward to a selection
of fine home decorative products and accessories such as specialty lights,
sturdy trees, dinnerware, fine fabric, holiday sweaters, scarves, tics,
snow globes, tree skirts, pillows, Christmas oil paintings, and many more
finely crafted collectables and accessories.
In my last decade, I changed the way we decorate our trees. I revived a
dying art, and brought quality and magic back into glass ornaments. In my
second decade, you can expect your entire holiday home to be transfonned.
Hold on to your seats!
