Vintage Ceramic Santa Trinket Box. Measures about 3.5" in height. Excellent condition.
This charming three-and-a-half-inch trinket box is a festive example of mid-century-inspired holiday ceramics. Sculpted in the likeness of a cheerful Santa Claus, the piece serves as both a decorative figurine and a functional "theatrical curiosity." The vibrant red of the hat and the soft, rosy tones of the cheeks are finished with a high-gloss glaze that captures the nostalgic warmth of traditional Christmas decor. Its petite scale makes it an ideal vessel for holding small jewelry, holiday candies, or secret notes on a mantel or bedside table.
With its classic seasonal palette and whimsical form, this lidded box fits perfectly within a "Kitschmas" or traditional holiday interior. It offers a touch of "found-history" charm that pairs beautifully with other vintage Santa collectibles or botanical evergreen displays. The ceramic is in excellent condition, with the colors remaining brilliant and the glaze free of any chips or surface wear. It is a soulful find for collectors of holiday ceramics or those looking to add a small, joyful touch of mid-century spirit to their winter home.
