Most Tennessee ornaments are made from resin or blown (mouth-blown) glass. Individual listings typically specify whether an ornament is resin or glass.
They are typically intended for indoor use. Product details for many items list Indoor/Outdoor as 'Indoor'.
Packaging varies by item, but several glass ornaments include a free box designed for easy gift-giving and storage.
Molten glass is mouth-blown into finely carved molds, then the pieces are hand-painted and finished with glitter or similar decorative treatments.
Indicators include descriptions that the ornament is mouth-blown, hand-painted, or glittered by artisans. Some pieces also carry a trademark or a heart-shaped bauble on the loop that identifies the item as an original.
