Christmas tree balls started in France

The video explores the origin of Christmas tree balls in the northeast of France, where glassblowers began crafting them in the 18th century. A drought in 1856 led to the creation of glass balls as tree decorations due to a lack of natural ornaments. This art form slowly developed into an industry, which ceased in 1964. However, a revival occurred a decade ago, driven by enthusiasts at the International Center for Glass Art, highlighting the cultural and historical significance of these decorations.
