In 2000, Swiss Post launched its "Christmas tree decoration" set – an overview of a kind of folk art that rarely features on the world's stamps.Rare specimensThis year's sequel presents original items and other rare specimens, which are particularly impressive representatives of their periods. These adornments were made from local materials that were in widespread use (glass is not the only material used for Christmas decorations) and took the form of typical objects for that area, with different objects for different regions.Swiss Post Christmas stampIn 2000, the Swiss Post Christmas stamp depicted a beautiful angel made of embossed cardboard covered in silver foil from Dresden which was famous for such products. This was followed in 2001 by an attractive combined hollow glass-bead star from Gablonz, and this year, the stamp features a typical cardboard church in miniature from Bohemia.Issue: Switzerland, 19 November 2002 More information Stamps Switzerland Postage Stamps 2002 Pro Juventute New Swiss definitives for postcards Alpine World Ski Championships 2003 Swiss Post Stamp Printers Swiss minerals |
