The Hallmark Company located in Kansas City, Missouri
first issued artplas ornaments (which are molded plastic) in 1973. Shortly afterwards, they started to produce
them in glass. Today they are sought
after by collectors.
The Keepsake Ornament Collectors Club began in 1987 and received
limited edition ornaments for its members.
Miniature ornaments were offered beginning in 1988. The subject matter for both the artplas and
glass Hallmark Ornaments includes nature scenes, holiday scenes, Currier And
Ives, children’s faces, seasonal decorations, and much more.
Each one is beautifully colored. Some are even signed by master artists such as
Mary Hamilton (which is simply signed “Mary”).
Some Hallmark Ornaments can be seen in my shop on Etsy here.
