Designs are as diverse as the traditional bell and snowflake to modern interpretative art, and they are stunningly beautiful adornments for a Christmas tree! Collectors and lovers of silver ornaments will find the most complete compilation of information available in Silver Christmas Ornaments. Author Clara Johnson Scroggins has done a superb job of identifying and describing more than 100 ornaments produced from 1980 to 1997.
