This Mount Vernon glass suncatcher ornament was handcrafted in Virginia using the same methods used in George Washington’s time.  The Washington family coat-of-arms is surmounted by a “flying griffin”, a mythological creature that was featured on the family crest for generations.  George Washington placed the griffin, a winged lion’s body with a bird’s head, on many of his most important possessions, including his bookplate, silver plate, and presidential coach.  Made in America.
