Two Christmas Tree Stands - Style 520 - Regular and Large - 1950s Swiss "Bülach Glas"
Add a touch of Swiss heritage to your holiday with this rare, charming set of Bülach Glass Christmas tree stands from the 1940s.
Designed with both form and function, these sturdy stands can hold large, room-sized trees, featuring substantial glass bases with deep reservoirs to keep your tree hydrated throughout the festive season. Likely cherished in Swiss homes for the past 80 years, they capture the timeless tradition of setting up the Christmas tree only a day before the holiday and keeping it in place through Three Kings Day.
Unlike other Bülach stands, these models have fixed metal clamps that are built into the design, offering additional stability and making them ideal for supporting a fully adorned tree. When the season’s over, they make beautiful vintage pieces for display, showcasing the craftsmanship of Bülach Glass and reflecting an era where practicality met style.
Perfect for anyone who loves vintage décor with a story, these stands offer a secure and striking way to bring Swiss culture and holiday tradition to your home.

Origin & Maker
Bülach Glas, founded in 1860 in Switzerland, became renowned for its high-quality glassware, combining durability with elegant design. The company produced a wide range of products, including tableware, bottles, and the iconic green storage jars of the 1940s. These thick, sturdy jars, made from iron oxide-tinted glass, were essential household items used for preserving food and dry goods. Their signature green colour not only added aesthetic charm but also protected the contents from sunlight.
During the mid-20th century, Bülach Glas played a significant role in Swiss homes, embodying the country’s values of craftsmanship and quality. Today, their green glass jars and the Christmas tree stands are highly sought after by collectors, valued for both their practical use and vintage appeal. These jars represent a timeless design and a connection to Switzerland’s rich industrial heritage, making them a perfect addition to any vintage-inspired kitchen or collection.
