About The Artist
In the 1960s, young Klaus Müller-Blech, a 14th generation descendent, spent countless hours in the glass workshops of his grandparents and parents learning various aspects of the profession. He then grew to love this vocation and realized it was undeniably ingrained in his spirit.
In 1992, during the Golden Glow of Christmas Past convention, Klaus met Birgit Eichhorn-Jeremias-Sohn. Birgit also came from a family of glassblowers in Neustadt, Germany. Both Klaus and Birgit attended the convention of antique Christmas ornament collectors to search for ornaments of their families' past. Klaus and Birgit soon fell in love and were married. The families joined forces and combined their traditions and skills. Together their collection includes more than 6,000 antique ornament moulds dating from the 1850s.
Inge-Glas, named after Heinz Müller-Blech's late wife, represents a family operated business that has been handcrafting glass ornaments with skills that have been passed on for generations by their forefathers. In 1987, the exclusive five-pointed Star CrownTM suspension ring was trademarked and caps these heirloom quality ornaments. Determined to stand out from other glass lines, Inge-Glas created the Star CrownTM so that from a distance all would be able to recognize ornaments from the Müller-Blech family workshops. The Star CrownTM has evolved into a symbol of the company's quality and craftsmanship.
Inge-Glas employs more than 100 artisans and yet still has the characteristics of a small family business. Using the same mould composition as those ornament moulds created more than 100 years ago, Inge-Glas keeps the spirit of a glass cottage industry alive.
It is the Müller-Blech family wish to share the joy and excitement of authentic, heirloom German Christmas ornaments.
