Product Details

The holidays are a time for nostalgia, and nothing captures that spirit quite like this Retro Elf from Soffieria De Carlini. With his round, smiling face, pointy ears, and glittering red details, he recalls the playful Christmas characters of the 1950s and 60s. Designed exclusively by American artist Michael Garrison, this collectible ornament combines modern whimsy with the timeless artistry of Italy’s De Carlini family workshop.

Each piece is individually mouth-blown from glass, then carefully hand-painted by skilled artisans near Milan, where the De Carlini family has been crafting heirloom ornaments since 1947. The vibrant green suit, sparkling belt and mittens, and jaunty elf hat are all finished with meticulous detail, ensuring every ornament is truly one of a kind.

Whether displayed on a sparkling tree, showcased in a holiday vignette, or gifted to a collector, the Retro Elf is sure to inspire smiles and warm holiday memories for years to come.
