Make me an offer.
Everyone is super busy.
If you don’t take action and make an offer now,
you're likely to procrastinate.
The number of my RADKO ornaments and
finials are limited.
All of my RADKO treasures have been retired and
are no longer available anywhere.
This is an early bird, limited time offer so why wait.
The clock is ticking down to Christmas morning and for many people
that means the pressure is on to find the prettiest of Radko Christmas

*******************************
It Began with a Crash?
Once upon a Holiday Night, a Christmas tree fell and startled the Radko family household. With more than 1,000 vintage mouth-blown glass ornaments broken to bits, Christopher was distraught. Searching endlessly to replace them, he found nothing quite good enough to replace his treasured memories. He soon realized that the only option was to start from scratch. Thus began the creation of Christopher Radko ornaments.
With nothing but his Christmas memories to build upon, Christopher enlisted a Polish glassblower and went to work recreating his family?s lost heirlooms. The project went so well that by 1985 sixty unique designs were debuted and a respected business was created. Today, after forty years of designing and creating, Christopher Radko® has produced more than eighteen million fine European glass ornaments that have become a part of family traditions across the United States.
Growing to encompass several additional lines of holiday décor, including the impressive ?Home for the Holidays? line, Christopher Radko uses tabletop items and trim to captivate family members and guests alike. Whether it be ceramic cookie jars, magical snowglobes, silky stockings or luscious tree skirts that complements your Radko tree, there is something for everyone. Christopher Radko later introduced Shiny Brite?, a vintage-inspired line featuring recreations of uniquely American ornaments, lighting and accessories first made popular in the 1940?s and 50?s. The mix of spectacular colors and unique shapes are perfect for adding shine to your holiday while reminiscing over your childhood holiday memories.
From the beginning, each extraordinary holiday treasure is created in artisanal Polish factories by a talented team of artists and craftsmen. Each piece is meticulously crafted by hand, using methods that date back to the Renaissance era. The artists put careful thought and thorough hard work into carving and molding, and they perform the glass blowing and silvering steps with passion and dedication. The process continues as each delicate detail is hand-painted to complete the Christopher Radko ornament. The entire process takes weeks to complete and requires unparalleled skill.
The magical heirlooms produced by the Christopher Radko Company have brought joy and happiness into homes worldwide, creating ever-lasting traditions throughout the years. Christopher Radko ornaments have decorated the White House, adorned the Kennedy Center, and garnished the personal collections of celebrities.
