These authentic spun glass trims are made for Blümchen in Lauscha, Germany. In early February 1990, just a few months after the wall came down between East and West Germany, we ventured into Lauscha. Driving up the winding mountain roads of Thüringia, while gentle snowflakes fluttered down, the first sight of this historic village made us feel that we had stepped back in time. Gray slate homes lined the steep roads, many with signs for the glassblowers' "Werkstatt" located within. We spotted a small metal sign on the corner of a building which read "Glasspinnerei" -- and we had found a manufacturer of spun glass! Their first American visitors, the craftsman warmly welcomed us into his workshop, gave us a tour, and even demonstrated on the antique machinery how the spider web-fine threads of glass are created!
