Vintage Table Top Santa

By justbeachy, 1 December, 2014
Description

I acquired these Santas from a friend who could only tell me it had been in his family for as long as he could remember.  He is 50 years old.  I am really interested to know the history behind these Santas: when and where they were made, and what they are referred to as. They are beautiful.

They appear to be a metal paint over porcelain.  The 17 inch Santa has a brown painted wood base but no inscription, and has a little wear.  The two 5 inch Santas are in mint condition, very shiny, have no base and are hollow inside.  They are all heavy in weight.

Thank you very much!
