Radko Nativity Ornaments

Christopher Radko designs a wide array of beautiful high end Christmas tree ornament designs which he has produced in Poland. As a nativity enthusiast I am glad that he has several nativity ornament series. Here is one.

"The Nativity" has three groups of three figures. The "Heavenly Family" is dated 1996.


The Three Wise Men set is dated 1995 and has ribbon streamers on each figure ornament.


Last is an Angel with two Shepherds with sheep, "Shepherd's Prayer, Gloria," dated 1997.


As is typical of Radko’s designs, each figure is finished in bright colors in unusual combinations. The color blue appears in the garb of Mary, Baby Jesus and one of the Magi, the Angel’s wings.

    I think aside from collecting pig figurines I guess I will start collecting nativity scene too since that scene is the reason for the season. Thanks for sharing!
