After settling in Neustadt, Heinz worked to reestablish the business, relentlessly searching for antique ornament moulds and quietly acquiring moulds that his family in East Germany sent only in halves to ensure the pieces would not be confiscated. He eventually married and for years worked alongside his beloved wife, Inge, the namesake for Heinz’s modern-day Inge-Glas workshop. As the business continued to prosper, Heinz and Inge’s son, Klaus, nurtured his own inherent glassblowing skills in the workshop of his parents, thus setting the stage for yet another enchanted story of destiny.
This is wonderful! I am so in love with these ornaments! I was able to locate a couple that I liked on eBay and look forward to receiving them in time for Christmas! Thanks again Victoria magazine!

Mary – they are distributed from Germany only a few times per year, so what is in stock right now in stores is what is available in the U.S. We carry only Inge-Glas ornaments.

Mary, Did you ever receive a complete catalog? We have some older catalogs from 2011-2013 that we could send at no charge.
We are one of the premier retail shops for Inge-glas in the United States, and actually have been fortunate to have hosted one of their glass blowers to our shop on 4 different occasions – Thomas Ziesmer sets up as he would in the factory, and blows ornaments right in front of our customers. He produces not only ornaments using moulds but also some free form designs and of course reflectors.

Love seeing this article and your gorgeous photos! We have over 100 different kinds of Inge-Glas ornaments in our store –remembering a time when ornaments are singular and special. It is the only ornament we carry, for that reason. — Julie, owner, Copper Strawberry. https://www.copperstrawberry.com/european-furniture/inge-glas-christmas-ornaments-holiday
We’d love to hear from you!
