If you are looking for beautiful glass blown Christmas ornaments some of the most beautiful are made by Christopher Radko. Our tree is interspersed with Christopher Radko ornaments, and we would have many more if they weren’t so expensive. They are exquisite and have amazing detail, so they are well worth the money. It will just take awhile to build your collection.

The company began in 1986 with Christopher selling ornaments out of his home. Now these ornaments are taking the holiday world by storm and are probably the most well known name in the Christmas and holiday decoration world. These holiday ornaments are found in prestigious places, including government trees, the President’s tree and have been featured on several television shows as of late, including the Today Show and the Oprah Winfrey Show. In addition, these ornaments adorn the pages of magazines like InStyle and People. Several celebrities including Elton John and Oprah Winfrey also don their trees with Christopher Radko ornaments, so it is easy to see why the general population has taken interest in them.

Christopher Radko ornaments can be found at retailers like Neiman Marcus, Marshall Fields, Macy’s, Saks and others. In general, these ornaments sell for about forty to fifty dollars each. So as you can see, these are not your run of the mill standard Christmas tree ornaments. Definitely not something to purchase if you have curious toddlers or cats that like to bat at trees. Believe me, I learned this the hard way and have packed away my Christopher Radko ornaments for a few years. I think I will only be seeing these ornaments when our sons leave the house for college and the cat dies. I can’t bear to see a fifty dollar ornament crash to the ground again.

If you are looking for those that are retired and are considered collectibles, you will need to browse sites like Ebay and auction sites. Be prepared to pay top dollar, as Christopher Radko ornaments have become quite popular and many people are looking to complete their collections. Some of the early releases are now selling for around one thousand dollars each, so have your checkbooks ready! In my opinion, it is somewhat ridiculous to pay this much for a Christmas ornament that you will only see for about four weeks per year, but I guess who am I to say what people should spend money on. They are quite beautiful, but I’m not convinced they are worth nearly one thousand dollars each!
