The item itself is beautiful, but unlike the other reviewers, and from what's photographed, I expected a bit more coloring. To me, it's not a subdued patina, I feel it's a dull patina.

These lovely pinecones are beautiful and work especially well in the upper half of the tree. The subdued patina belies the new manufacture, which is what I was hoping for. I will have to add more of your "Vintage" collection to mine.

Beautiful patina softly reflects the tree lights, exquisite plump pinecone shape. Love, love, love.. Silvery glow, gently defined bristles. Looks elegant and timeless on my tree. Reminds me of my grandparents' ornaments brought from Holstein in the 1880's.

This is a lovely golden-toned pinecone with light snow frosting that reminds me of the same ornaments we had as children. It is more beautiful than the pictures can capture. It was packed well in an individual box. I have been very satisfied with Old World Christmas ornaments.
