The set includes a variety of ornaments, all made with care and attention to detail. Celebrate the holidays in style with this charming addition to your ornament collection.Following WWII, the US government sent Max Eckardt and his son to West Germany to reenergize the ornament production and export industry as part of the rebuilding effort. There, they set up a factory in Wallenfells, which they named "Lanissa" after Max's three granddaughters. "L" was for Lynne, "an" was for Anne, and "issa" was for Allison, whose nickname was Lissa.WWII ended in September of 1945, so production would have started circa 1946 and likely proceeded into the 1950's, though I could find no definitive dates for production at that site.The 4 large ornaments measure approximately 2 1/2" in diameter, and the 5 small ornaments measure approximately 2" in diameter.
