Avocado Christmas ornament from Merck Family's Old World Christmas. 3 1/4" Avocado half with seed showing.
Legend has it that the first avocado was eaten by a Mayan Princess in Mexico around 300 B.C. It is also known as the "alligator pear" which describes the fruits' texture and pear shape.
This traditional and beautiful glass ornament was carefully mouth-blown into a finely crafted mold. Then a hot solution of liquid silver was poured inside. Finally, it was delicately hand-painted and glittered for you to enjoy and cherish as a holiday heirloom!
