Hallmark Ornaments by Mary Hamilton

A tour through Mary Hamilton’s ornament work is also a tour through the subjects that shaped Keepsake design during 1974 through 2025. The documented catalog contains 22 distinct designs dated 1974 through 2025. Especially visible are connections to Mary's Angels; together, those collections show an ability to move between recurring series expectations and one-year subjects.

Mary's Angels provides one of the clearest ways to follow the work; Ornaments such as 1974 Charmers, 1983 Trimming Our Tree, Christmas Pewter Plate #7, and 2003 Sweet William, Mary's Angels #16, COLORWAY mark useful points in the chronology. The selected ornaments below provide several starting points for seeing those strengths in finished Keepsake designs.
