About Patricia Breen Designs

Patricia and Eric live and work in Krakow, Poland. They first came to Krakow, Poland in 1992 through a two-year government sponsored program to assist in restructuring the country after communism was overthrown. They fell in love with the country and wanted to make it their permanent home.

Since they were both artists and loved Christmas ornaments, they built a design studio in 1994 to produce their original museum-quality highly collectible ornaments.

All of their ornaments are produced in limited quantities. Every ornament is mouth-blown, hand-silvered and hand-painted, as they were over 100 years ago. Both Patricia and Eric are intimately involved in every step of producing their ornaments: from hand-carving gypsum forms and painting prototypes to custom mixing lacquers and inspecting finished work. The pair is known for creating exciting, wholly original ornaments of exquisite detail and beauty. The quality, the look and the feel of their ornaments matter greatly to them and to their young artisans.

Once an edition run has been fully completed, it is permanently retired. This includes all color variations
