Vintage Avon St Nicholas Teapot. Ceramic. Measures about 6 1/2" in height. Very good condition. Some rubbing of paint on nutcracker near spout and around the spout. Seen in photos.
Add a touch of Victorian elegance to your holiday tea service with this vintage Avon St. Nicholas teapot. Released as part of Avon’s seasonal gift collection, this 6 1/2-inch tall ceramic pot is a highly detailed figural piece. It depicts a classic Father Christmas holding a festive stocking that doubles as the pour spout, complete with a tiny nutcracker peeking out from the top. The handle features a coordinating plaid ribbon design, and the entire piece is finished with a glossy glaze and gold-toned accents.
This teapot is a wonderful example of late 20th-century holiday kitchenware, designed to be both functional and a charming display piece for a kitchen hutch or mantel. It remains in very good condition with vibrant colors. As noted, there is some minor rubbing of the paint on the nutcracker and around the spout area, which is typical for a piece of this age and use. It makes a thoughtful gift for teapot collectors or anyone who loves traditional holiday decor.
This item is vintage, over 20 years old. While it appears to be in very good condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
