Christmas ornament candy cane - Ceramic - 10 cm

Decorate the Christmas tree with this fun Christmas ornament in the shape of a candy cane. The candy cane has become a recognizable image for Christmas. This is because candy makers were commissioned by a conductor to produce candy canes in the shape of sticks used by shepherds. The candies were handed out to children who came to visit the living nativity in the church. Another story is that the red and white colors of the candy cane refer to the origins of Christmas, with white representing purity and red representing the blood of Jesus. When turned over, the candy cane is shaped like the letter J. Whatever its origin, the candy cane has become an indispensable item for the Christmas tree. Hang real red and white candy canes in the Christmas tree and alternate them with these Delft blue porcelain candy canes. The subtle gold accents give the candy cane an extra festive look.
