Tokens of Love
Often sold in a boxed set, the 12 mouth-blown glass ornaments—one for each month of the year—bid couples good fortune. A stylized bird signifies joy and happiness; a rabbit symbolizes hopefulness; a fish represents God’s blessings; Santa embodies goodwill; and a basketful of fruit represents abundance and generosity. An angel serves as a token of Christian faith, and the pine cone has long been associated with spiritual enlightenment and fertility. Beauty and affection take the form of a single rose bud and a bouquet of blooms. A house characterizes shelter and protection, while a teapot typifies gracious hospitality. The final ornament is a charming red heart for true love.
