THESE ORIENTAL-THEMED, HAND-CRAFTED KOMOZJA ORNAMENTS (2 SHOWN OF 8) ARE DONATED BY THE CHRISTMAS BEAR IN NEWPORT AND VALUED AT $500

THIS ASSORTMENT OF EIGHT ORNAMENTS COMES FROM POLAND’S KOMOZJA ORNAMENT COMPANY. FOUNDED AFTER THE SECOND WORLD WAR, THEIR STORY IS INSPIRING: IN A NUTSHELL, COMMUNIST OFFICIALS KEPT CLOSING THEM DOWN, THE FAMILY KEPT RE-OPENING, AND EVENTUALLY THEY OUTLASTED THE REGIME! NOW THEY’RE INTERNATIONALLY KNOWN FOR THEIR CLASSIC ORNAMENTS.
