Snow Crystal Dogwood Christmas Ornament (Bronze)

Wendell August Forge began in 1923 in Brockway, Pennsylvania, when Wendell McMinn August and blacksmith Ottone Pisoni started making matching ironwork for August’s home. That practical commission grew into a decorative metalworking business. The company’s values center on skilled craft, preserving traditional techniques and creating gifts that mark family milestones. Its artisans continue the metalworking tradition in Pennsylvania, with production now in Slippery Rock.

Its intricate design captures the elegance of the dogwood blossom while creating a timeless ornament that reflects both spiritual meaning and exceptional craftsmanship.

Whether displayed on a Christmas tree, showcased year-round, or given as a thoughtful Christian gift, it serves as a lasting reminder of faith, grace, and the enduring message of Christmas.

Materials and finish

Bronze. The pictured crystal accents are decorative; crystal sourcing and attachment details have not been verified. No unsupported alloy purity, recycled-content percentage, coating certification or food-contact certification is claimed. Photographed variations in lighting can change the apparent color of a metal finish; choose by the selected listing rather than assuming every item shown is supplied.

Care and storage

For the bronze, copper or sterling-silver metal component, the maker directs dry dusting with a soft, untreated cloth. Do not wash, soak or place it in a dishwasher; water and heat can damage its lacquer finish. Do not use the lacquered metal for direct food service or as an ashtray. Keep it protected from scratching and moisture during storage.

Origin, shipping and returns

Product-specific country of manufacture is not fully verified. The company’s Pennsylvania workshop and general American-craftsmanship statements do not establish the origin of this complete item. Metalwork, crystals, glass, wood, hardware and any other included components need separate evidence where applicable.
