Liberty, Draped in Red, White & Blue: The America 250th Statue of Liberty Glass Ornament
She has greeted millions of arrivals into New York Harbor since 1886, torch held high and expression serenely unbothered by the weather — and Lady Liberty has never looked quite so festive as she does here. A gift from France to the United States (one of history's more spectacular friendship gestures), the Statue of Liberty was designed by sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, with her remarkable iron framework engineered by none other than Alexandre Gustave Eiffel — yes, that Eiffel. She stands 305 feet from ground to torch tip, weighs 450,000 pounds, and has a waist measurement of 35 feet, which is mentioned here only to make her miniature ornament incarnation feel all the more impressively detailed. This blown glass beauty captures her iconic silhouette with extraordinary fidelity: torch aloft, crown gleaming, tablet in hand, and robes flowing gracefully down to a stone pedestal.
What makes this particular rendering truly special is the inspired decision to drape her robes in the American flag itself — red and white stripes spiraling down her gown in rich, glittering detail, while the upper portion of her robe blooms into a deep starry blue. Her teal-green crown sparkles with glitter accents, her torch burns gold, and her characteristic verdigris complexion is rendered in that perfect blue-green that only 140 years of copper oxidation — or a very talented glass painter — can produce. It's a genuinely gorgeous object that manages to be both patriotic and elegant, commemorating America's 250th anniversary with the kind of style the Lady herself would approve of.
Crafted from high-quality glass with paint and mica accents that catch and hold the light beautifully, this ornament arrives in an acetate gift box and is as at home on a holiday tree as it is in a year-round display. Part of the officially licensed America250™ collection, she is, as she has always been, a sight worth stopping for.
