The purist form of the Wichernkranz is the Advent wreath: it reduces the countdown to Christmas Eve to the four Sundays of Advent. If you want to go one step further, this striking Advent wreath made of Thuringian forest glass offers minimalism par excellence: a glass ring in which four receptacles for candles or tea lights are recessed - that's all it needs. It draws its high value from the green shimmering material, from the obviously expert care with which the glass mass is poured by hand into the iron mold, and from its massive heaviness. Of course, you can additionally decorate the wreath: The inner round will gladly accept twigs and flowers. In our eyes, however, the Advent wreath already spreads an exquisitely festive mood, when the candlelight in the forest glass resists.

The original type of the famous Thuringian Forest glass is blown and cast at Farbglashütte Lauscha in the south of the Thuringian Forest. The glass originally owed its characteristic green shimmer to the high proportion of iron oxides in the sands of the Thuringian Forest. Typical of this highly prized glass specialty are the so-called gypsum bubbles, air bubbles trapped in the glass, which were once created by the melting process with wood fire and still characterize the manufacturing process of (mouth) blowing, which has been handed down for centuries. Only the wood fire has been replaced by the smelting furnace, in which the Thuringian forest glass is still melted from the raw materials sand, soda, potash and lime - including an additional pinch of iron oxide to continue to achieve the characteristic green shimmer.

Certain manufacturing steps are carried out by hand. Slight dimensional and color deviations may therefore occur.
