Welcome to Buttondolls Christmas extravaganza xx
The history of the bauble begins in 16th-century Germany with glassblower Hans Greiner, who created glass beads and tin decorations to hang on Christmas trees. These decorations became widely popular in Britain after an 1848 engraving of Queen Victoria with a Christmas tree in 1848 sparked interest. F.W. Woolworth began importing German-made baubles to the United States in the 1880s, which further expanded their popularity. xx
