This Large Legend of the Pickle Christmas Ornament measures about  4 inches tall, and is easier for the younger children to find than the smaller pickle ornament. 

The Pickle Legend is an old tradition from Germany, and is fun for the whole family. Parents tuck away in the branches of the Christmas tree, a tiny green gherkin pickle ornament, hidden, and ready for the children to find. The legend say "hunt for it, search for it, but your hands must be behind, and do not touch the tree, or you'll lose the prize in mind". The winner of the green, that is the child that finds the little pickle ornament, has a special present to open. This is a fun family tradition from yesteryear, and those children that do not find the little pickle this year, know they will have next year to find the Pickle in the Green

This Inge Glas ornament was mouth blown and hand painted by a family that has been in the glass blowing business for 14 generations, since 1596!  The Mueller Blech family is the original glass blowing family of Germany, and has for decades and centuries, produced the finest heirloom quality glass Christmas ornaments.  Each of their beautiful ornaments are crowned with a five-point star crown.
