Vintage Mid-Century Ceramic Santa Candle Holders

Beautiful matching pair of authentic 1950s/1960s mid-century modern (MCM) ceramic Santa Claus figurines. These charming Christmas kitsch pieces feature Santa carrying a green toy sack, which functions as a small candle holder (ideal for votives, small pillars, or bottle brush trees) or a mini planter. They feature the highly collectible "Lefton/Napco style" hand-painted details, including side-glancing eyes, rosy airbrushed cheeks, and a high-gloss finish. Both pieces are clearly stamped "JAPAN" on the bottom unglazed rims. Details: • Era: 1950s / 1960s • Origin: Made in Japan (Stamped) • Quantity: Set of 2 (Matched Pair) • Height: 4 inches / 10 cm • Condition: Excellent vintage condition. Paint is vibrant and glossy. Insides of the holders are pristine and completely free of wax or burn marks. Authentic vintage crazing present under the glaze. Minor shelf wear on the bottom unglazed rims (see photos). These jolly fellows are ready to bring a touch of Christmas magic to your home. They are waiting for a new place to call home this holiday season! Fair offers will be considered
