Christopher Radko

Once upon a holiday night, the joyous sparkle of the Radko family's Christmas tree was shattered, just like the more than 1,000 vintage mouth-blown glass ornaments that lay in pieces beneath the fallen tree. Christopher Radko, left heartbroken and longing to recapture the lost splendor of his family's cherished ornaments, embarked on a quest to replace the irreplaceable.

Despite an exhaustive search, Christopher discovered that no existing ornaments could hold a candle to his family's broken heirlooms. In the face of this realization, his path became clear: he would recreate the lost ornaments himself. This resolve marked the humble beginning of the now-renowned Christopher Radko ornaments.

In the spirit of rediscovery, Christopher collaborated with a skilled Polish glassblower to resurrect his family's lost treasures. This partnership's fruits were nothing short of exquisite, leading to the debut of sixty unique and intricate designs by 1985. From these early triumphs, a respected and cherished business blossomed, one that would, over thirty-five years, bring forth over eighteen million fine European glass ornaments.
