Christopher Radko - Creating an Ornament

For over thirty years, the Christopher Radko Company has captured the hearts of millions of Americans with extraordinary hand-crafted ornaments. The radiance and originality of each piece brings joy into households throughout the world during the holiday season. Each of our designs begins as an intricate illustration created by Radko artists. Then the year-long process of sculpting, molding, and sampling begins. At the production stage, our family-owned European factories use centuries-old techniques to blow, silver, hand-lacquer and embellish each and every ornament. This process requires a full seven days to complete. More than a year before our catalog presents our one-of-a-kind ornaments, a team of designers, carvers, molders and glass blowers all work together to take an idea and turn it into a magnificent holiday decoration.
