CROWN REFLECTIONS BLOWN GLASS ORNAMENT
More than a century ago, in the days when Christmas trees were lighted with real candles for brief, magical moments, European craftsmen began producing beautiful ornaments of blown glass. These treasures, called kugels, were known affectionately as “tree jewelry.” Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments of today reflect the rich history of blown glass while offering you a selection of both traditional and contemporary designs. Enjoy the elegance and beauty of this unique, time-honored art form in your home…and create beautiful holiday memories to treasure for years to come.
Designed by Anita Marra Rogers Inspired by Q-the powerful and sometimes playful entity from the Q continuum who has the ability to cause chaos in the galaxy, interrupt activities aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise™ NCC-1701-D, and interfere with the lives of crew members.

Pros: The third and final blown glass ornament in the Star Trek line, Q’s inclusion adds a unique and elegant touch to the collection. Its stylized design stands out, and for fans of this short-lived ornament style, it’s a reminder of how well Trek can blend with traditional holiday craftsmanship. Here’s hoping Hallmark revisits blown glass someday.
Cons: As fun as this version is, Q really deserved a full styrene character ornament too—perhaps seated on his iconic throne with audio clips of his most quotable lines. The glass ornament is stylish, but it only scratches the surface of his larger-than-life personality.
