The Cape Resorts Ornament Collection

Beautifully hand-crafted, our collection of Cape Resorts ornaments are a wonderful addition to any Christmas tree. Beach Plum Farm, Baron’s Cove, Congress Hall, The Virginia and The Pridwin each have their own character—and we’re always dreaming up new designs!

These blown glass ornaments are made in family-run factories in Poland. They begin with a paper sketch, and are then rendered in clay. From the clay rendering, the artist makes a mold and blows a glass shell, which is then hand-painted. Every ornament is one-of-a-kind.

Browse the full collection at Tommy’s Folly in Congress Hall, or shop online anytime at CapeResorts.com/Shop.
