Ted wondered if "Blume" was the name of an importer, not a manufacturer. The results of a Google or eBay search for "Blume Christmas" would imply that lots of post-war Christmas-themed kitsch came into this country with the name Blume stamped on it. Here's a ceramic darling on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/172436767/ ... mas-corner

You are correct. The BLUME trade mark (which included a stylized tulip blossom) Was the name of the man who started the import business carrying his name shortly after WWII. Likely of German extraction as Blume in German has the same meaning as Bloom does in English. HOWEVER it is also a German surname.
