1983 Santa With Skull Music Box
$64.99
Christmas Halloween Ceramic You Better Watch Out Santa Music Box with Skull. Measures 7" in height. Made with 1983 Ted E Bear The Bear Who Slept Through Christmas music box and a styrofoam skull. Plays Santa Claus is Coming to Town. Very good condition.
Note: This was a Christmas item that was broken. I did not break it to do this.
Add a darkly whimsical touch to your holiday display with this one-of-a-kind altered art music box. This unique piece features a vintage 1983 ceramic Santa Claus from the "Christmas Around the World" collection, repurposed with a festive yet spooky twist. Santa is depicted in a classic seated pose, but instead of a traditional toy, he is cradling and gesturing toward a shimmering, handcrafted styrofoam skull. This "You Better Watch Out" edition perfectly captures the mischievous side of the season, blending traditional holiday cheer with a hint of Halloween flair.
The base houses an original 1983 "Ted E. Bear: The Bear Who Slept Through Christmas" musical movement that remains in very good condition. When wound, it plays a clear and nostalgic rendition of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," adding an audible layer of irony to the scene. This piece was thoughtfully assembled using a previously damaged vintage item, giving it a second life as a quirky conversation starter for your mantle, shelf, or tiered tray.
This item is vintage, over 40 years old but the skull edition is new.
All measurements are close but approximate. I measure in quarter inches.
