Answer
The beautiful glass balls that decorate Christmas trees were invented in Germany. Hans Greiner began producing glass ornaments in the shapes of fruit and nuts in 1847 in the small German town of Lauscha. The inside of the ornaments was coated with silvery substances made first from Mercury and lead and later from a silver nitrate compound. The most beautiful glass ornaments are still those made in Germany. Their purpose is to decorate the tree and delight all those who see it.
