"Ariel" factory is situated in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia.
The factory founded in 1936 is famous for the manufacture of hand-painted Christmas tree decorations.
Modern decorations manufactured at the legendary factory represent remarkable pieces of art.
At Ariel, a new generation of craftsmen and women are using glass-blowing techniques to create new unique styles.
It's a process that hasn't changed much since the small factory was first established in the first half of the last century.
Lovely figurines of all kind are made by melting glass with a flame, which is then blown into shape.
A creative team develops new designs every year, which are then approved by Russia's Ministry of Industry and Trade, a system of state approval that dates back to Soviet times.
