I am looking to purchase the following Reed & Barton Flora of Christmas ornaments:
1991 - MISTLETOE and CHRISTMAS IVY ornament pairs (two sets)
1992 - STARS of BETHLEHEM ornament pairs (three sets)
I am also looking to complete my collection of the Victorian Christmas Ornaments
produced by the Newport Mint, Ltd. which I purchased in 1995 (I do not know if this was the only year these were produced or made available). According to the documentation that came with the ornaments, these ornaments were an original collectible set of 12 ornaments available exclusively from the Newport Mint, Ltd. by artist John Grossman. The documentation says "An
exquisite heirloom collection of Victorian art, faithfully reproduced onto fine white porcelain stones, set within delicately etched filigree brass frames finished in 24 kt. gold". I am looking for ornament number 2 and number 10 - unfortunately I do not know the names of these two ornaments. Here is a list of the other 10 I have: #01 - Adoring Santa, #03 - Christmas Wish, #04 - Hooray for Santa, #05 - A Teddy from Santa, #06 - Naughty or Nice, #07 - Up On the Roof, #08 - Hugs for Santa, #09 - All Snug
in Bed, #11 - Santa Bearing Gifts, #12 - Santa's Kiss.
If you have these ornaments or know of anyone who does, I would appreciate
any information you can provide! I have been searching for these ornaments for almost a year now and have had very limited success.
