About Christopher Radko Fact Sheet:

• Christopher Radko presented his first collection of 65 European glass ornaments in 1986.
• In contrast, the 2005 20th Anniversary Collection contains approximately 1,000 designs. Initially concentrating on Christmas ornaments, the line has expanded to include a veritable “year of designs.” New Years, Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s, Easter, 4th of July, Halloween and Thanksgiving; not to mention occasion categories like weddings, births, back to school, graduations and anniversaries all make up the diverse Radko collection.
