What a wonderful memory! Do you still have the tree?I have one of those ceramic Christmas trees. My great aunt made it when she had her ceramics shop long ago. When she made the one we have now, each tree branch was drilled out so as to fit a small crystal or clear plastic. The base was set up to hold a light socket and when a light bulb was turned on inside the tree, the crystals on the branch ends would shine to imitate tiny candles. I believe our tree was three sections, top and bottom and the base was the third piece. She glazed it in a pearlescent white gloss color with blue and pink accents.
It's really quite pretty and when we had our house in Georgia, there was a tiny alcove above the entrance to our kitchen from our living room. It had an electrical outlet in it as well. When we bought the house the realtor apologized for the feature saying that was an eye sore. I knew then exactly what was going in that alcove.
When we would open the front door during Christmas time, the little alcove was lit up prominently with that lovely little tree each year.
