Calumet Michigan Ornament
Calumet Michigan Ornament
The Calumet Art Ornament is a handcrafted tribute to the rugged beauty and industrial grit of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. As the heart of the "Copper Country," Calumet represents a pivotal chapter in American history, and this ornament is designed to honor the legacy of the people and the land that fueled a nation.
For Michigan History Collectors & UP Enthusiasts: Whether you have family roots in the Keweenaw or you've fallen in love with the red sandstone architecture of the Calumet Historic District, this ornament is a tactile piece of heritage in porcelain:
A Tribute to the Copper Range: This isn't just a holiday trinket; it’s a high-relief work of art sculpted by Tonya and finished with Rick’s signature glazes. It captures the spirit of the "Copper King" era, celebrating the resilience of the miners and the unique character of the Keweenaw Peninsula.
The Perfect Gift for Yoopers & Alumni: An exceptional choice for current residents of the Copper Country, MTU alumni, or those who have moved "downstate" but still carry a piece of the UP in their hearts.
Museum-Quality Craftsmanship: Handmade to order in our Michigan studio, each 3" ornament features subtle variations in the glaze, ensuring your piece is as unique as a specimen of native copper.
Year-Round Heritage Display: While it adds a layer of historic charm to your Christmas tree, its durable, high-fired construction is built for year-round appreciation:
Home Decor Accent: Hang it in a window to catch the Northern light, on a wall hook in a study, or as part of a collection of Michigan travel memories.
Art with a Purpose: We donate a percentage of every sale to community organizations, so your purchase helps support the very spirit of Michigan pride that inspires our destination tiles.
